Description

ArtyA Son of Gears Blue Star 1/1

All ArtyA Products are created with passion and love exclusively by Yvan Arpa and skilled Master Watchmakers. They carefully select best possible existing materials and highest levels in savoir faire.

We were already sculpting and hollowing out movements back in 2009,” explains Yvan Arpa. “For us to move into skeletonization meant doing it our own way, whilst still being affordable. Many brands plunged into pulling off superlative achievements that are sadly well out of the reach of common mortals. We wanted to show that we could offer something unique and creative, with a great story – and without it breaking people’s budgets.”

A new star on the wrist, the Son of Gears Blue Star:

The aim of a skeleton is to reveal the movement, workings and mechanical beauty in all their glory. But that requires light. What better source of light could there be than a Star? Once again, ArtyA reconciles extremes and opens up a new creative path, combining a movement clad in the absolute minimum with all the warmth of a life-giving heavenly body.

This unique piece is presented in a beautiful High Grade steel 316 L with blue PVD treatment and a steel crown and steel lateral inserts.

The blue star shaped skeleton movement matches perfectly the Geneva made ArtyA case.
