Ateliers deMonaco adds 2 new models to its collection

MUSCAT: Ateliers deMonaco, which recently became part of Khimji’s Watches exclusive repertoire of luxury watches in Oman, acquired the prestigious Geneva seal, Poinçon de Genève, in 2015.

Since then the brand has been striving to stay worthy of the Geneva Seal, known to be the most demanding quality seal in fine watchmaking, and only a very few brands can carry it in Haute Horlogerie with its Poinçon de Genève collection.

In 2019, the brand has added two new models to the prestigious collection with the Poinçon de Genève Classique in 18K rose or white gold case.

The Monaco prince’s palace logo has been placed at 6 o’clock to pay homage to the brand’s heritage and hand-applied roman indexes have been added to enhance its elegance.

Its see-through case-back allows the wearer to bask in the glory of the hand decorations on the inhouse and patented manual dMc708 calibre movement featuring a 38-hour power reserve and ruling the central hour, minute and second hands. The ultra-thin characteristics of this calibre enabled the brand to encase it within a delicate 9.2mm high case.

These new models come with the patented Ateliers deMonaco ‘Freebeat’ adjustment system, which controls the hairspring’s length with an adjustable crémaillère (straight bar with teeth on one edge, allowing it to be fixed at different lengths) obsoleting the need for pins and avoiding any interference.

The collection, limited to 18 pieces only, is presented with a black and a brown hand-stitched alligator leather strap with either an 18K white or rose gold tongue buckle.
