Already recognized for its edgy, modern styles, Savoy has debuted its 2012 collection with a host of new sizes, dials and finishes. Savoy’s unisex timepieces are available in three different case sizes – all featuring high-end Swiss Made movements, European design at reasonable prices.

THE COMPANY

Savoy is now part of an important and large watch group in the industry – with offices in Switzerland, Dubai, Hong Kong and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It fully designs and makes its watches in Switzerland and prides itself on its lifestyle brand, and on producing watches with a distinct and recognizable look. It is a high-end company, competing with some of the most well-known luxury watch brands worldwide, but is likewise known for watches of style and quality with the appropriate pricing

Synonymous with confidence, character and class, SAVOY is the new accessory brand with modern history!

FOUNDER'S BIO

With a drive for perfection, Swiss native Pascal Savoy set out to gain as much knowledge of the luxury goods industry as possible. He began his career in the beauty and fragrance industry before entering the watch industry more than 15 years ago. He then moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1999 as President of Hublot America and was instrumental in broadening awareness of the Hublot name in the US, helping to make it one of the most inspirational brands found today. In 2004, Savoy founded his own branding and product development company and immediately recognized that there was a void in the watch industry for Swiss Made watches that would combine unique iconic designs with reasonable prices.

Early 2009 he decides to create his own brand. The name and logo is deeply rooted to the Geneva region, his place of birth, and represents perfectly the character the brand will convey: strong, yet refined.

After two years of development, SAVOY was finally launched worldwide at the 2011 Basel World fair and was immediately credited as one of the most innovative design in its price category.

An oversized façade encircles a sundial marked at each five-minute interval, and is accentuated with symmetric ‘3’ and ‘9’ digits. Marking 12:00 is Savoy’s simplistic branding – a true sign of refinement – and the timepieces exhibit a smaller sundial denoting the ten-minute time at the base of the watch face. Created in a 45mm case and available in a single-time style as well as Chronograph models, these pieces are guaranteed to be a favorite for wearers with the most individual style.

They feature Swiss Made movement, fixed tachymeter or rotating bezel and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Each SAVOY watch strap or bracelet is equipped with metal inserts that offers versatility and the ability to express personality by simply exchanging them for a new look. The collection’s timepieces are created in a range of colors – including yellow gold, gunmetal, black and a softer rose gold IP – that compliment multi-hued rubber straps and metal bracelets. Perfect for the most stylish men of the season.

Hermès - Arceau Le Temps suspendu Rose Gold

Hermès - Arceau Le Temps Suspendu Rose Gold NEW

A year after being acknowledged and rewarded by several watch industry prizes for its Arceau Le temps suspendu model, Hermès is launching two variations of its iconic rose gold creation.

The Arceau Le temps suspendu watch conceals time and erases it from the dial whilst continuing to register its ceaseless march. This new horological complication developed exclusively for Hermès is a world first.
Behind a simple and playful gesture lies a sophisticated mechanism capable of making the user forget time via a subtle play of cams, pinions and segments. The mechanics behind the illusion are created by an additional module enabling automatic and spontaneous alternation between suspended time and standard time.

Protected by two patents – one for its construction and the other for the play-reducing gear teeth – this gem of horological engineering alone comprises no less than 24 jewels and is equipped with three play-reducing wheels. The running time and suspended time phases are coordinated by two synchronised column wheels, one driving the hours, and the other the minutes coupled with the date.

The 360° retrograde hour and minute mechanisms make time disappear without interrupting the relentless running of the movement. Each part is hand-decorated in Switzerland with circular graining, engraving and Côtes de Genève, according to the .nest watchmaking traditions. The 43 mm-diameter gold or steel case gives the watch generous scope for expression. The herringbone guilloché dial motif bears the Hermès hallmark, while the contrasting retrograde indications are enhanced by a delicately grained .nish. The asymmetrical design created by the winding crown placed at 2 o’clock hints that harmony can stem from paradoxes... Such as that of deliberately eclipsing time before willingly rejoining it.
The rose gold model initially issued in a limited edition now comes with a choice of two dial colours: silvered or chocolate brown.
