What is time? If it’s difficult to define, it’s easier to describe how we experience it. We are all a part of the same unique time, a time of reference. However, we can have different experiences of this time. One that may lengthen, slow down, almost stop, contrary to fast and accelerated time. Moreover, the perception of the sale time varies from one person to another and evolves according to unique personal nature.
If time and poetry have a place of choice in the creation of this new collection, an unexpected aspect, more rational and even scientific, has emerged. The designer was inspired by Vitruvius, the Roman architect and engineer, to shape his watches. Vitruvius’s theory is based on principles that govern architecture: proportion, eurythmy, symmetry and harmony. This quest for beauty can be found in every detail of the models.
Vitruve Date
This watch is inspired by everyday time, a repetitive time that sets the rhythm of the day for some, a reassuring time, a familiar landmark for others. This time binds us to the present, pushes us to accomplish our actions over the course of the day. This is why the model has been designed with the date at 6 o’clock. Discreet and legible, the watch complication illustrates the passing of time while anchoring us to the present.
Brutalist architecture influences the Vitruve Date, which seems to be sculpted from a single block of steel. The brushed steel dial blends into its matte and polished case. It comes in two models: steel dial and black dial.
Vitruve Origine
This model is a reference to solemn time, both light and slow. A time during which the world seems to slow down, as we find ourselves in beautiful timelessness. A true cocktail watch, the Vitruve Origine has been designed to bring a touch of poetry and dream to the wearer.
Indeed, three circular hands turn on a double dial. The first smoked dial is pad printed with Roman numerals and rests on the second guilloche dial with its velvet color. The indexes seem to float, the ultimate touch for all dreamers. It comes in two models: blue and cognac.
Vitruve GMT
This creation is an illustration of universal time. In contrast to the day and solemn times that were intimate, this one opens a whole new perspective where two times become one, a time from here and elsewhere.
Composed of two hidden crowns, it reveals a GMT watchmaking complication by activating one of them. Thus, the flange, stamped with 12 digits, turns and indicates the time in another part of the world. It comes with two models: blue and green.
