The most spectacular iteration of the FREAK X collection is undoubtedly the Carbonium ® version. The aeronautic-grade Carbonium ® is a new, super-light and sustainable material used in the aeronautical sector for the latest-generation airplanes’ fuselage and wings. In short, the most vital and essential components in today’s modern airplanes.

The production of Carbonium ® has 40% less environmental impact than other carbon composites as it uses offcuts from aeronautical pieces. With complex process requiring high pressures and temperatures, Carbonium ® is a high-performance material that brings out the core beauty of the organic pattern created by the 7 µm diameter carbon fibers.

Made of Carbonium® Gold, the FREAK X case is an intimate "fusion" of 7 µm carbon filaments and gold particles dispersed in a thermosetting matrix, creating a veined gold effect of uniqueness and finesse. The case and the champagne-coloured decoration perfectly combine modernity and tradition, making this timepiece a true masterpiece.

EMERA CYBORG - NEW ERA IN ULTRAHAUTE HORLOGERIE
 A NEW ERA IN ULTRA HAUTE HORLOGERIE

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

EMERA is the result of two watchmaking professionals’ collaboration and hard work.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Two ultra-passionate individuals – a visionary designer (Patrick Freiburghaus) and a genius watchmaker (Cyrano Devanthey).

They create timepieces without concessions and go to the limits of the possibilities of today in terms of aesthetics and manufacturing.

A MOVEMENT WITH HYPER SHAPES

The 60 seconds tourbillon, designed exclusively for the case of the Cyborg model, is the first chapter of future super movements from their workshop. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The innovative aesthetics and the architecture of the movement are the fruit of the close collaboration between the Designer and the Watchmaker. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This “engine” is machined with extreme precision and the decorations are applied by hand. The movement provides a power reserve of 44 hours and is composed of 177 individual components. Its heart beats at a frequency of 4 Hz / 28’800 vibrations per hour.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  Its geometry is designed exclusively to fit the case of the Cyborg Exoskeleton watch. This way, the perfect match between the shape of the case and the lines of the movement could be achieved. The uniqueness of the case goes hand in hand with the custom-engineered movement.

DESIGN AND DISRUPTIVE LINES

EMERA offers audacity and watchmaking tradition in the same timepiece with its new creation. The CYBORG timepiece is an ode to the future with a remarkable design. Each fraction is in balance with the whole design.

The aesthetics and shapes open new paths in watchmaking. However, the unconventional dial, which offers a constellation of novelties, does not show the movement, even if there is nothing to be hidden in the in-house tourbillon movement.

The Dial comprises 40 carbon scales with a thickness of just 0.30 mm. The “Reptile Gold” carbon composite design is inspired by the captivating patterns found on exotic snakes.

The carbon fiber also contains bronze particles which enhance the sparkling and shimmering characteristics of the material.

Besides the known qualities of carbon fiber, like lightweight, strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability, it offers a unique pattern.

Like snowflakes, no scale is identical to one another. This uniqueness of each scale makes every watch an individual piece and simultaneously gives the timepiece its mechanical and animalistic look.

ONLY SWISS DNA

All case and movement components are engineered and manufactured in Switzerland. The assembly takes place in Emera’s workshop to ensure the highest quality.

The case is equipped with two sapphire crystals. The second sapphire crystal, located at 6 o’clock, allows technically minded individuals to observe the fascinating tourbillon from a different angle.

The hypercar-inspired case-back is an attraction of its own with the shapes that remind vent openings for the engine. The engine underneath, the in-house tourbillon movement, is protected from its environment by a titanium case. Great care is taken to decorate every single component, even if not visible.

Designed to be comfortable on the wrist, the pin buckle has an aerodynamic shape where soft and aggressive lines are combined. The case and the buckle are made from Grade 5 Titanium.

The alternation between polished, bead-blasted, and satin-finished surfaces enhances the intricate details of the design. Special care of the details has been taken for every component. Not only at the time of manufacturing but also before that. Even the raw material for the sapphire crystal is made in Switzerland.

In their quest to work with the best specialist in their field, a leather-good workshop makes bracelets in Paris with a long tradition, where the knowledge is inherited from father to son for many generations.
