Minimalist Timepieces That Make A Quiet Statement

Diamonds dot the curves of the dial, the face of which flaunts slim hands and transferred or embossed Roman numerals Armed with a self-winding movement within a 43 mm polished and satin-finished steel case, the elegance of the white dial is enhanced by an easy-to-read calendar, a blue hand indicating the date, two apertures to display the day and month, and an eye-catching moon phase Marking the company's 225th anniversary, the 1957 brings to your wrist a design greatly inspired by the artistic codes of their Gyromatic watches from the '60s.

The champagne-coloured retro dial is set with dauphine hands, while the stainless steel case is adorned with polished upper and brushed sides, enclosing the vintage dial under a sapphire glass - which is raised to resemble the plexiglasses that were used in the watch designs of the past Available in five distinct sizes - 25, 29, 34.5, 37 and 39 mm - these watches with sunray blue dials and automatic movements are embodiments of the expert craftsmanship On his journey with the world of timepieces"I grew up in the cradle of Swiss watchmaking.

I was born and raised in Biel/Bienne - where the Swatch group's headquarters are located, and where Rolex's production is There are plenty of suppliers based there; and so in my family, I have an uncle who is a watchmaker, a cousin who is working for a watch brand, and somehow everyone else is also linked to the watch industry." The first watch he owned"It was an ATB - a private label, I got it when I won a mountain bike race I was about 12 years old, and it was of course not of real value, but it was the first prize of a bike victory.

The first 'real' watch I got was a Rado It was a gift from my godfather, and I still have it!" On their different patrons around the world"When you compare India to other Asian countries, the audience is quite different.

I feel like the nice thing about what we are doing is that we have a strong basic collection with five families, and all of those are a perfect match for each of the markets And then within every collection in the family we have some variations in colours, materials and sizes One thing which is quite common all over though is the need for vintage watches, for really classic timepieces.

What I like about the people in India, is that they like colours The last time I was in Mumbai, on the main street very close to the sea, it was Holi and we were dancing in colours." . Source
