Description
Carl Suchy &Shne Waltz N1 Skeleton Founded in 1822 by Austrian watchmaker Carl Suchy, the renowned watch brand counted the likes of Emperor Franz Joseph, Empress Sisi and Sigmund Freud amongst his distinguished customers. After one century as the sole watchmaker for the Habsburg royalty, Carl Suchy &Shne disappeared with the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 2017, the brand has revived in Basel. The Viennese legacy brand returns in 2018 with the Waltz N1 Skeleton. It is equipped with a skeletonized extra-flat automatic movement by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, modified by Swiss watchmaker Marc Jenni, a former member of the Acadmie Horlogre des Crateurs Indpendants (AHCI). The subtle lines and classic dial of the Waltz N1, as well as its straight guillochage, were inspired by the avant-garde and minimalist style of to most important Austrian architect of Viennese modernism, Adolf Loos. Honoring the brands DNA, the skeletonized dial of the Waltz N1 Skeleton is animated by the rotating waltzing second disc at 6 oclock featuring a striped guilloche-pattern that aligns with that of the dial once a minute.
Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
