Blacksand Genève - Stratographe Chronograph

Blacksand Geneve - Stratographe Chronograph NEW

The Stratographe by Blacksand Genève is a sleek and surprising single-pusher chronograph interpreted in a Tachymeter version for all speed enthusiasts, or with a Pulsometer to measure collectors’ emotions. Blacksand Genève enters a new era with the presentation of its first in-house calibre entirely designed, developed and assembled in its Carouge workshops. The immediately identifiable Stratographe reflects highly contemporary aesthetic codes, while remaining loyal to the “Semper fidelis” approach to traditional watchmaking upheld by the brand. A strong design in shades of purple, grey or black, expressed through an openworked dial featuring two ceramic inserts. The architecture of the distinctively curving case is crafted in titanium and ceramic or in pink or white gold, enabling a fascinating play on personal desires and on materials.

































Distinctive aesthetic:
The immediately identifiable single-pusher STRATOGRAPHE Chronograph
is endowed with a strong aesthetic featuring a blend of sportsmanship and contemporary elegance.
Case: the case middle is specific to the Uniformity collection. Its easily identifiable curve is composed of nine interchangeable elements. It is made of titanium and ceramics and/or white or rose gold, and enables collectors to play with a choice of materials.
Dial: the character of the dial is revealed by a touch of mauve, the brand’s aesthetic signature, which is echoed on the tip of the central seconds hand and on the subdial, as well as on the inside of the grey or black alligator strap in matt or shiny versions.
The sweep seconds hand personalised to reflect the brand identity with mauve tips and small hourglass logo pointing to the passing time.
SEMPER FIDELIS
The unconventional style of this model confirms Blacksand Genève as exemplifying a contemporary mood while epitomising the spirit of its “Semper Fidelis” motto by paying tribute to traditional watchmaking. Designed according to the specifications and standards imposed by the founder of Blacksand Genève, the STRATOGRAPHE features all the essential brand codes in the shape of a highly contemporary aesthetic and a “Semper fidelis” (ever faithful) approach to traditional watchmaking. Blacksand Genève Calibre 2002 offers a blend of tradition and modernity. The mechanism highlights the traditional column wheel, along with an unconventional approach to the global movement aesthetic with its personalised components. Like all models in the Uniformity collection, the single-pusher Stratographe chronograph has a screw-in two-part caseback, a personalised ceramic-caped pusher, a sapphire crystal with an invisible logo marking revealed under the effect of heart; and an ultimate touch of refinement in the shape of a decorative fillet indicating the correct position of the engravings. Reflecting the tireless quest for supreme functionality pursued by Blacksand Genève, the optimal receptiveness of the hour-markers or Arabic numerals to the Super Luminova luminescent material creates a fascinating blue light. Delivered with two interchangeable wristbands with a triple-blade folding, including one in HNBR technical rubber. Also available in materials such as grade 5 titanium or 5N rose gold.
