A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Unveiled in « les ateliers » during Baselworld 2019, this limited series of 50 individually numbered pieces worldwide, stands out with its uncomparable wrist presence.
Even if the ASSET 2.3 has an innovative racing inspired case design, it lands on the wearer’s wrist like a UFO.
Nevertheless, this extraordinary timepiece remains a driver’s watch, allowing inclined time display, thanks to its asymetrical shape.
The ASSET 2.3 affirms an uncompromising radical look, it’s the ultimate racing experience.
Highlighted by the « damper » system, the sports DNA of the model is highly noticeable.
Following the wrist’s motion, the system activates itself naturally when necessary, the compression of the springs can then be experienced. It is visible thanks to each lug’s sapphirre ring.
Machining the lug’s circular sapphirre ring is quite challenging, involving unique craftsmanship and requiring 4h30 of hand finish per sapphirre ring.
