HISTORY
In order to offer you this extraordinary time guardian and to perfectly comply aestheticism and technique with the idea of tilting everything at 23.27° like our beautiful globe, several problems had to be resolved.
Ten months were needed for the development and finalisation of the first working prototype.
After ten additional months of polishing its design and searching for suppliers ready to join the project, the first complete watch was born. Inside its spherical case are all the desired details and finishing touches. The 23.27° model is therefore the transposition between chosen symbolic themes distinguished by a unique contemporary design where each element was thought of in the minutest detail. The result is a wrist-watch without heaviness but a pure jewel, taunting time or even stopping it…
The case depicts our Mother Planet with its sensual curves. On the convex, black surface of the dial, are engraved meridians and parallels revealing the stylized shape of Switzerland divided by the Alpine axis. The Arc Jurassien horology is contrasted with a red dot pointing at St-Imier’s location, respecting the 23.27° planet angle. The crown, representing the Moon with its craters, follows the same logic and is positioned at 23.27° relative to the position of 3 and 9 o’clock. The date is placed in the notch at 6 o’clock. Finally, the black leather bracelet stitched in red equipped with the pin buckle finalizes this balance of pure and refined curves.
When you turn the watch over, the transparent caseback allows you to admire the Soprod mechanical, automatic M100 movement. There’s no other watch like it. It is available in different variations: stainless steel case or black chromed, polished or satin-finished, with or without gem-setting. For the creative concept to be completely respected, the 23.27° watch is delivered in its black aluminium spherical case representing the Earth, designed to be of decorative purpose.
Furthermore, according to the imperative wish of the creator, its fabrication respects a 100% Swiss production, located within a rectangular range of 48 by 44 km, with St-Imier as its central point. 100% Swiss, way above the percentage required for the Swiss Made Label.
