ORIS – ARTIX Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour NEW

Reach for the moon
Oris presents the new Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour

Following the launch of the innovative Oris Artix Pointer Moon, Date in 2014, Oris is pleased to introduce the Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour. Like its steel predecessor, the latest watch accurately displays the lunar cycle via a pointer hand.

The pointer hand has been an Oris signature since the company launched the Pointer Date in 1938, an iconic design that inspired the company’s revival after the Quartz Crisis. In late 1980s and 1990s, Oris pioneered useful, elegant modules with pointer-hand functions, such as the Pointer Calendar and the Pointer Day. The Pointer Moon follows in that great tradition.

Inside the Artix Pointer Moon Bicolour is the Oris-developed automatic calibre 761, based on Sellita SW220. That gives it a central pointer hand that points to lunar cycle markings around the edge of the dial. The hand moves every half-day to indicate the phase of the moon on any given day of the month. The watch also features a date function at 6 o’clock.

The multi-piece stainless steel case of the elegant Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour is complemented by a solid 18-carat rose gold bezel, and follows the same slimline silhouette as last year’s model. It also has a silver guilloché dial offset by applied rose-gold-plated hands, numerals and indices. The hands and indices are filled with Super-LumiNova®.

KERBEDANZ – A’Ghrian Tourbillon

KERBEDANZ – A’Ghrian Chronometrie Tourbillon Limited Edition

First victory for precision and outstanding robustness: The Kerbedanz A’Ghrian model is cited for the tourbillon category The timepiece has undergone tough testing since May 28, 2015.

For the Kerbedanz brand, the tagline "Giving meaning to beauty" also includes a quest for absolute precision. To make sure of this, it took up the daring challenge of submitting a watch to the tests set up by the Chronometry Competition – LeLocle 2015. For over six grueling months, the candidate watches are submitted to a battery of unforgiving testing that will involve not only precision, but also shock and water resistance, as well as magnetic interference.

First victory: nomination

Surprisingly, perhaps, the first stage in the process, the actual nomination, is already considered a victory in itself by professionals, scientists and the specialized media. Because many of those registered, never make it beyond the first lap. Their names? No one will ever know. Because only those cited can stay in the race to embark on an adventure seen by watch brands as the most perilous when it comes to quality control. It's a path that closely resembles the kind of preparation racecars are given before they roar off on their legendary circuits.

 KERBEDANZ A’Ghrian, limited edition of 41 numbered pieces.

A'Ghrian, symbolism and luminosity in a limited series. In Gaelic, the term A'ghrian refers to the sun, which, as in German, is female. No wonder, then, that the metaphors used to describe this exceptional timepiece tend to be filled with femininity, Celtic musicality, and mysticism.
The word, so luminous in its essence, lends itself well to the many seminal symbols that are so dear to KERBEDANZ, a brand headquartered in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Unlike other big names in the watchmaking industry, KERBEDANZ freely mixes symbolic elements. It's an untrodden path in traditional Swiss watchmaking.

The exclusive hand-crafted dials and movements are created, manufactured and decorated by KERBEDANZ. The hand-wound tourbillon caliber KRB-01 was designed, built and decorated by the brand and the movement manufacturer Technotime. It features 27 jewels, 28,800 oscillations per hour (4 Hertz), a double spring barrel and 120 hours of power reserve.

A sapphire crystal with antireflective coating offers a glimpse into the finely decorated back of the movement, which is engraved with the KERBEDANZ colors. On the dial, the tourbillon cage is located in the southwest, between 7 and 8 o'clock, in the axis of the crown, located between 1 and 2 o'clock. This is in the northeast, where the sun comes up in the northern hemisphere, depending on the time of year.

This KERBEDANZ timekeeper is water-resistant to 50 meters. It is the first of a limited and numbered series. It's 43-millimeter case, cut out of 18-karat white gold, features a number of secret – or only discreetly visible – visual references. It comes with a "Birth Book." The watch truly celebrates the great star, both as a fulcrum as well as a point of reference. It displays all the symbols and legends that surround the sun and all that it influences.
