KMU 48 limited – A giant is back!
This event has been keenly awaited and not only by collectors!
This autumn, the traditional watchmaking company GLYCINE announces the return of its "oversized" classic KMU 48.
The imposing manual watch delights with its harmonious synthesis of watch case, dial, movement and strap. With its 48 mm diameter, the KMU makes a familiar and striking impression on the watch market without straying from Glycine’s deliberately chosen path of always being one step away from the main-stream.
A special treat for watch lovers is the limited series of black PVD coated watches powered by the calibre, Unitas 6497. Glycine has devoted particular attention to the design of the dial. The dial is a wonderful construction on two levels with extra-large second display at the 9 o'clock position. Two hundred and fifty pieces of this classic contemporary watch have been made.
The origin of the KMU 48 goes back to the well-known military watches of the last century. Glycine launched the first replica of such watches as early as 1999. In the meantime, demand has grown so strong that the KMU 48 has established itself firmly as a distinct family of watches in Glycine's proud collection.
