BREVA – Génie 03 Anemometer Limited Edition

BREVA – Génie 03 Anemometer Bleue Limited Edition NEW

Geneva, March 2015

Breva presents the new Génie 03 Anemometer in a limited edition of 55 pieces — the world’s first mechanical self-winding wristwatch with a functional anemometer.

Génie 03 is fitted with a patented “instant speed” scientific measurement mechanism, with a proprietary extrusion system that creates a unique look. When extended to indicate the speed, it stands 6 mm proud of the watch itself. Within the Titanium G5 extrusion mechanism, comprised of 45 components, are hemispherical special alloy Robinson cups, in the manner of an anemometer. The classic device for measuring wind speed, it has been adapted in Génie 03 to display speeds of 5 to 65 knots.

Highlighting a micro rotor engraved with the Breva compass rose. Génie 03 is water resistant to 30 meters at all times, with the anemometer open or closed, and dust resistant even with the anemometer active.

About Breva:
Profile of Breva founder, Vincent Dupontreué

Breva founder Vincent Dupontreué was born just outside Paris in 1977. He had a precocious entrepreneurial spirit that had him making and selling bracelets on the beach in Corsica during holidays when just 11 years old and building and selling skateboard ramps with his brother at 13. A job working in a bespoke men’s clothing store at 18 led, a few years later, to the position of sales manager at Ermenegildo Zegna. Vincent Dupontreué quickly decided he wanted to run his own boutique and when that wasn’t a possibility – he was still only 22 years old – he set up his own fashion brand, called ‘Vincent Dupontreué’.

Breva is a high-end Swiss watch brand founded in 2010 by its president and empowering entrepreneur Vincent Dupontreué. Brimming with innovation, Breva strives at pushing horological boundaries by creating scientific instruments that monitor the wearer’s environment. After 3 years of research and development, at Baselworld 2013 Breva launched its first groundbreaking timepiece – the Génie 01, the world’s first mechanical wristwatch with time, barometer for forecasting the weather, altimeter and power reserve indications.
At Baselworld 2014, the brand launched it second creation – the Génie 02 – a fully functional, high performance mechanical altimeter. Breva Genève demonstrates a radical, innovative vision of high-end watchmaking with its complications. Attached to the concept of “monitoring your environment” and driven by the spirit of innovation, Breva is the link between watchmaking tradition and modernity – developing an innovative movement with a timeless design.
