Add Cushion Case STEEL BRACELET WITH BUTTERFLY CLASP + €180.00

SALMON COPPER

Finished in rich metallic tones of salmon copper and slate grey, Durham is one of three, new designs for 2022 from the cushion case collection. Exploring use of tone and texture, to bring a refreshingly different approach to dial design.

The sector dial design is characterised by a striking raised circular ring, contrasting against the dial, finished in a fine, vertical grain texture that catches the light with varying depths of tone during the day. The dial is decorated in applied highly polished hour markers, partnered with slim dauphine style angled hour/minute hands in matching finish. The sweeping seconds sub-dial sits at six o’ clock, marked by a sunken outer circle, punched into the main dial with a circular, machine grooved texture. The subtle details all come together to make up a dial design that combines classical and contemporary cues, making a watch of bold restraint that is ready to wear - whatever the occasion.

FLOWING LINES

At 38.5mm the case sits comfortably on any wrist, with the lines of the new cushion case architecture creating a barrel-sided design that hugs the dial. Uncommonly, the case is skilfully made up of a three-piece construction; case back, main case body and bevelled bezel, topped with an anti-reflective sapphire glass - resulting in a compelling piece from any view when handling. The case has an entirely polished finish, with the exception of the bezel chamfer, which is brushed so as to provide some sharp definition between the main case and the bezel.
The straps create the illusion of being integrated into the bat ear lug design, due to a clever scalloped inner case between the lugs for a snug fit. This is a case that stands out from the norm, with classic understated elegance.

Powered by the modified no-date SELLITA SW216-1 Elaboré Grade movement, notable for its thinness, reliability and robustness. Finished with blued screws and a bespoke Farer arrow pattern, across the micro-engraved bridge. Delivering 45 hours power reserve when the calibre is fully manually wound.

"A COLLABORATION OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY STYLES."

STORY

Named after Mary Edith Durham, a British explorer, artist and anthropologist. She began to travel in the then hardly visited Balkans from 1900 for the next twenty years. She worked for a number of relief organisations and became a champion of the Albanian mountaineers whose lands were coveted by neighbouring nations. Her studies of Balkan ethnography led to a series of books, of which 'High Albania' is the best known and is still regarded as the best guide to the customs and society of the highlands of northern Albania. Her papers are held by the Royal Anthropological Institute, London.
