Description
Solo-hand time indication, platinum and tantalum case, hand finished and assembled by master watchmaker Nicolas Delaloye, fair pricing: Mermont proposes a modern yet traditional take on independent watchmaking.
CELEBRATE THE MOMENT
Regulated to +/- 3 seconds per day with a deliberately approximate display, La Parfaite offers a different timekeeping experience: free of haste, because the most beautiful moments are not measured; they are lived.
METICULOUSLY FINISHED "SOLO" HAND.
A true masterpiece of unprecedented shape and volume, La Parfaite's "solo hand" is first machined on two side out of mild steel, and then heat treated by flame and hand polished by Nicolas Delaloye using traditional techniques.
PLATINUM CASE AND TANTALUM CASE BACK. CLASSIC INGREDIENTS, NEW RECIPE.
La Parfaite's case perfectly blends iconic design traits with modern flair. Platinum and tantalum offer a luxurious "on-the-wrist" experience without attracting unwanted attention. The 38mm diameter combined with a slim 9.2mm height offers a perfect fit on any wrist.
MESMERIZING DIAL, WITH A (SECRET) TWIST.
Designed for spectacular interactions with light, La Parfaite's dial uses a "colimaçon" sunburst finishing. Its unique blue hue is achieved "à l'ancienne" using colored pigments mixed with Zapon lacquer. Its secret signature remains mostly invisible, but shines when the light is right.
BORN IN GENEVA, FROM THE RIGHT HANDS.
Nicolas Delaloye's watchmaking pedigree is difficult to overstate, from his work at the restoration department of one of the world's most important watchmaking museum to the creation of his own exceptional timepieces under his eponym brand.
Each Mermont watch is finished, assembled, regulated, and controlled by "le maitre horloger" in his Genevan workshop.
QUINTESSIENLY ESSENTIAL
French writer and poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry claimed: "perfection is achieved when there is nothing left to remove."
"La Parfaite" (Fr. "the perfect one") was named following the poet's direction.
