CYRUS – KLEPCYS Reveil Alarm - Minute Repeater Steel

 

CYRUS Genève – KLEPCYS Réveil Alarm Minute Repeater Steel 42 mm - 2024

 CYRUS GENEVE RENEWS ITS ALARM COLLECTION AND INTRODUCES A NEW CREATION:

“KLEPCYS REVEIL”

There is no shortage of watch complications designed to make mechanical wristwatches more appealing, eye-catching and desirable. The market is rich in timepieces equipped with perpetual calendars, tourbillons, minute repeaters, GMT functions and chronographs – whether simple, split-second or, in our case, with a double independent chronograph. Yet it is unusual to find models with an alarm complication.

CYRUS Genève, an independent Swiss brand founded in 2010 with Le Locle-based manufacture, launched its first alarm function watch, designed by talented master watchmaker Jean-François Mojon, in 2018. On the occasion of Watches and Wonders 2024, the Maison expands its collection and presents the "KLEPCYS REVEIL". This latest creation features an alarm function with a more contemporary style, in line with current trends.

With an updated look,  "KLEPCYS REVEIL" features a steel case, now 42 mm in diameter compared to the 46 mm of its predecessor. It boasts a dial with refined grenage decoration, a detail used for the first time in the brand’s models. It also has a functional crown at 9 o'clock, a feature which, in previous versions, was only present to maintain a balanced style.

The "KLEPCYS REVEIL" is distinguished by an atypical interpretation of the alarm function which is reminiscent of the minute repeater chime. The bell-shaped hammer set between 7 and 8 o'clock is clearly visible on the display and has a polished, brushed finish and bevelled edges; it strikes to signal the alarm time set on the dial, producing a pleasant sound, for a minimum of 16 seconds.

With hour/minute, 24-hour alarm and day/night indicator functions, the watch is powered by the in-house manufacture hand-winding calibre CYR1280, offering 72-hour power reserve.

The end result achieved by the Manufacture's highly skilled watchmakers makes this new timepiece the perfect companion for those who prefer the charm of mechanics over digital for their morning wake-up alarm, or to remind them of the day's appointments.

The case design: the Maison's undisputed signature

"KLEPCYS REVEIL" retains the iconic cushion-shaped case, which has become one of the distinctive signatures of CYRUS Genève. Crafted from polished/satin-finished stainless steel, it is a particularly complex case comprising no fewer than 26 components.

The three-dimensional bezel, applied to the central body of the case, has a square base with curved sides and corners that are clearly highlighted by polished facets and a matt satin-finished top that frames the anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The long flared lugs embracing the double crown boast a polished profile contrasting with the satin-finished parts. This intricate combination of finishes is also replicated on the case back ring with its sapphire crystal porthole. It is engraved with the logo, the water-resistance of 3 atm and the serial number and is secured to the case with four screws bearing the CYRUS Genève helix symbol.

The twin crowns at 3 and 9 o'clock are both functional. Decorated with the brand's emblem, they are surrounded by a rubber ring for easy handling. The crown at 3 o'clock winds the movement, sets the main time and the alarm, while pressing the crown pusher at 9 o'clock activates and deactivates the alarm/timer function by means of the small blue arrow that moves over the inscriptions "Marche" (ON) and "Arrêt" (OFF).

The dial: sophisticated contemporary elegance

Together with the case, the dial defines the style and personality of each creation. For its new "KLEPCYS REVEIL", CYRUS Genève has chosen a refined grenage decoration that gives it a refined and elegant appearance.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As always, the dial has a three-dimensional architecture that gives it dynamism and depth. The layout is dominated by two off-centre circles that intersect at different levels. The larger one, with luminescent Arabic numerals in relief, indicates the hours and minutes with rhodium-plated openworked hands with electric blue tips, and is surrounded by a white lacquered minute scale with glossy black indices. The slender rhodium-plated seconds hand rotates on a mirror-polished ring with Arabic numerals on a 5-minute scale that completes the bezel.

The alarm sub-dial is located at 4 o'clock and allows the user to select the chosen time on a 24-hour scale and 5-minute intervals.

Between 7 and 8 o'clock, the display is dominated by a large opening that affords a glimpse of a section of the movement, drawing the eye to the alarm hammer. Its original design is reminiscent of the shape of a bell and has brushed surface and polished, bevelled edges. It strikes several chimes, producing a harmonious and clearly sound, for a minimum of 16 seconds.

The excellence of the dial finishes is complemented by the two-tone aperture between 10 and 11 o'clock for the day/night indication. A bright blue sky adorned with the sun indicates daytime, while the starry sky reminds us that it is night.

The movement: unparalleled savoir-faire in the art of micro-mechanics

At the heart of the "KLEPCYS REVEIL" is the in-house manufacture hand-wound calibre CYR1280, with 340 components and an annular balance that beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour). It provides a power reserve of 72 hours.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The movement's elegant architecture can be admired through the anti-reflective sapphire crystal case back, which showcases the two parallel barrels with black-lacquered ratchet wheels and the helix, the symbol of CYRUS Genève. The exclusive winding system designed by Jean-François Mojon and his team allows the barrel near the balance wheel to drive the oscillations of the balance wheel, whilst the second barrel supplies energy to power the alarm function. In keeping with the traditional art of watchmaking, nothing is left to chance, and the movement's bridges are finely finished and decorated with a curved, engraved, brushed and polished sunray pattern, against which the jewels and mirror-polished screws stand out.

The "KLEPCYS REVEIL" comes with a glossy black alligator strap, with a steel folding clasp customised with the Cyrus logo.

 Positioned on a frame, all these components perform a spectacular dance. The widest aperture of the display allows a perfect view of the jumping hour and the two flying tourbillon cages. The dial’s rotation has no effect on the reading of the time, which is always horizontal, whatever the position of its components.

 The watch face plays on the contrasting shades of black, anthracite and rose gold, with an array of exquisite finishes that enhance every detail. From the black PVD finish on the frame bridge, to the tetrahedral motifs, to the tourbillon cages’ gilded bridges reminiscent of the Cyrus logo with microbeaded and chamfered angles and perfectly match the style of the minute hand, to the bevelled-cut steel screw heads, some with a mirror-polished surface, others with an additional black PVD coating, nothing is left to chance. And the whole composition appears perfectly harmonious and well balanced to the eye!

With three patents pending, this new calibre demonstrates how watchmaking continues to surprise by pushing the boundaries of what is known

 Subject to three patent applications, this extraordinary new hand-wound movement, calibre CYR518-E, equipping the “ETHERAL Twin Orbital Tourbillon”, is the result of the undisputed talent of Jean-François Mojon and his team. Comprising no fewer than 510 components, this powerful engine with a regulating organ operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz), guarantees a 72-hour power reserve thanks to its two barrels.

This new-generation calibre provides the jumping hours on two discs that move around the dial while maintaining horizontal readability, as well as the two flying tourbillons, inclined at an angle of 20°, both of which rotate clockwise and linked together in a manner known by the state of the art.

One of the three patents that has been filed for this unprecedented movement concerns the balancing mechanism of the frame, requiring the development of a new and innovative solution to ensure perfect operation in the event of shocks. Positioning the centre of gravity on the pivoting axis is the first step in reducing the impact of shocks on the frame. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This nullifies the effects of linear shocks. However, angular accelerations always affect the frame and therefore the working components. The frame drives a rotating mass in opposite directions. When an impact or angular accelerations occurs, the dynamic effects are cancelled out because the inertias of the frame and the rotating mass are equal, and the direction of rotation is reversed.

The mechanism for displaying the time by combining the tens and units discs is the subject of the other two patent applications. One refers to the hour indicator. The hours appear on two discs driven by a single triangular-toothed star wheel through a 12-jump kinematic system. In addition to its simplicity, this mechanism also has the advantage of preventing any de-indexing.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A second patent pending is for the instant drive mechanism with surprise for unrestricted counter-clockwise time adjustment. The purpose of this device is to make the hour jump without double jumping and without desynchronisation when the time is set anti-clockwise.

The complex geometry of the upper tourbillon cage, which can only be produced using the most high-performance machining workshops, bears the brand's three-armed helix logo. It is adjusted by means of inertia blocks on the free-sprung balance wheel. Much attention has been paid to the aesthetics of the rear of the watch which echoes the sophisticated layout of the dial emphasized by refined finishes such as frosted and microbeaded surfaces, bevelled and polished edges, polished mirror screws and much more.

 As with other brand movements, such as the Klepcys Vertical Tourbillon, particular attention was focused to symmetry along the 12:00-9:00 axis. It is impossible not to notice that the inclined power-reserve disc, whose apertures change from white to black and then to red when the power reserve runs out, follows the shape of the unusual minute hand. Or the frosted, black PVD-coated barrel ratchet wheels engraved with the Cyrus logo.

CYRUS – KLEPCYS DICE Racing Chronograph Edition

CYRUS – "KLEPCYS" DICE Racing Chronograph Carbon and Titanium 44 mm Limited Edition

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHRONOGRAPH COMPLICATION IS CALLED “KLEPCYS DICE”. THIS FIRST EDITION OF THE DOUBLE INDEPENDENT CHRONOGRAPH PRESENTED BY CYRUS GENEVE IN 2021 SEES ITS NEW CREATION- “KLEPCYS DICE RACING”-BEING WELCOMED INTO THE FAMILY

CYRUS Genève, the independent Swiss brand with its Manufacture located in Le Locle, is expanding its KLEPCYS DICE collection.

A true technical innovation, KLEPCYS DICE – first introduced in summer 2021 - marks a new milestone in the chronograph complication in the 21st century. It was, in fact, the first wristwatch on the market to be equipped with two chronographs capable of functioning totally independently of each other, or in synchrony.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

As the name suggests DICE is the acronym for DOUBLE INDEPENDENT CHRONOGRAPH EVOLUTION; a full-fledged revolution on the watchmaking scene which, for the very first time, sees two separate chronographic movements assembled in a single case.

Following the runaway success of the first edition of the KLEPCYS DICE, followed up with the KLEPCYS DICE LIME presented at this year's Watches and Wonders in Geneva, CYRUS Genève is now introducing a new version of this famous chronograph.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The KLEPCYS DICE RACING comes in two case variants , in a limited edition of just 15 pieces each.

Like its predecessors, KLEPCYS DICE RACING is inspired by sporting competitions, and especially by motor racing. It is a world very close to CYRUS Genève which, amongst other things, is one the official sponsor of the HAAS F1 team, including drivers Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen.

This latest creation, brainchild of master watchmaker Jean-François Mojon, has a revamped look. But it also experiments with an innovative material the Maison has never used before: carbon fiber. Its highly resistant nature, along with its characteristic lightness, thermal insulation and flame resistance, ensure carbon fiber is an appealing choice.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

KLEPCYS DICE RACING still retains its iconic cushion-shaped case with a diameter of 42 mm, available in polished/brushed grade-5 titanium, or black DLC-coated titanium which, for this latest addition, has been teamed with an all-new black matt carbon fiber bezel. As the carbon fibre is first layered and then machined, the surface of each bezel will be different from the other, thus giving each piece of KLEPCYS DICE RACING its uniqueness.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Despite the double crown set at 3 and 9, another hallmark feature of CYRUS Genève, the case is waterproof to 10 ATM. Crowns must, of course, be protected to avoid any water, moisture and dust issues, so twice as much attention is lavished on this crucial element of KLEPCYS collections!

The open-worked dial features a pleasing three-dimensional architecture that allows to delve into the very heart of this innovative mechanism designed and crafted at the Cyrus Manufacture. The detailing is picked out in red and electric blue, making it easier to read off the chronographic functions. The column wheels, the hands of the chrono counter at 3, the central second hands, the minutes on the flange and the monopusher crowns for engaging the two separate chronographs can thus be seen at a glance.

Both the chrono hands and the second hands are mirrored, with the latter resetting to 12 (red) and 6 (blue).

The small seconds counter is symmetrical to the minute chronograph counter, providing an aesthetically-pleasant, balanced effect; it is set at 9, with the original three-armed helix recalling the Maison’s logo and a luminescent tip. The small seconds counter and the 30-minute counter are both in anti-reflective smoked sapphire crystal, and surmounted by a bright red lacquered bridge that highlights them.

The open-worked rhodium-plated luminescent hands mark time on a shaped anti-refelctive sapphire crystal ring with raised Arabic numerals. These numerals are also luminescent, and emit a blue glow. This transparency allows an unhindered view of the stunning movement powering this masterpiece of fine watchmaking.

KLEPCYS DICE RACING is equipped with the Manufacture’s CYR718 automatic calibre which beats at 28,800 vibrations/hour, offering a 60-hour power reserve when fully charged with just one barrel. Comprising no less than 443 parts, of which 218 for the double independent chronograph, it is housed in a case which is just 16.5 mm thick: no mean feat when we remember it houses not one but two mainplates, treated with a black PVD and microbeaded finish, for the two chronograph modules.

But assembling this movement and its countless components in a small case was not the only challenge Jean-François Mojon had to tackle.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

KLEPCYS DICE RACING features a double chronograph with two display axes; one for the chronograph seconds, and the other for the 30-minute counter. The chronographs are powered by two column wheels which in turn activate the levers and gears that move the seconds and 30-minute chronograph display.

Mojon and his technical team have devised a special insulating system to prevent shocks and dispersion of the energy generated when the chronograph levers are triggered, especially during the return-to-zero phase. This ensures the duration of the phenomenon is measured precisely, allowing the two chronographs to run independently without affecting one another.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

An ingenious solution was also found for another challenge: an all-new concentric device has been devised for the motion work mechanism to read off the time. Not only

is this mechanism more compact, but it is coaxial to the axes of the hands, freeing up as much space as possible for this chronograph complication.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

It is worth noting that the movement has been reversed to allow the chronograph mechanism to be visible on the dial side; this affords a fascinating view of the two column wheels that lie at the "heart" of this complication.

KLEPCYS DICE RACING offers an unimpeded view of its spectacular mechanics. So the sapphire crystal case-back was a must to allow the sunray-decorated bridges to be admired. The bridges alternate a polished/satin effect, and are coated with an anthracite-grey NAC finish which is also applied to the oscillating mass. The single-block rotor is open-worked and finished with a sunray design; the centre of the rotor, engraved with the motto “The Conquest of Innovation”, is embellished with the CYRUS helix in 18k 4N gold.

The KLEPCYS DICE RACING is presented with a bright red Cordura fabric strap and a titanium folding clasp to match the case, and is delivered with an additional strap in soft black rubber.
