Patrium Lapis

Description

Drawing inspiration from 19th-century watchmaking workshops, Aldo and Mario Magada have brought together the finest artisans—watchmakers, case makers, and dial makers—around shared values. Their ambition: to create sophisticated watches with simplicity and transparency, through a relaxed approach centered on authenticity and the human touch. All components are manufactured in Switzerland with full traceability, placing trust and sharing at the heart of a welcoming community. bimbu thus embodies the Italian spirit, Swiss excellence, and universal values.

Housed in a 39mm case made of grade 5 titanium—both lightweight and durable—this watch plays on the contrast between polished, brushed, and microblasted finishes. Its caseback reveals two lapis lazuli inserts framing the movement, echoing the small seconds sub-dial, while a sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating protects the entire assembly.

The snow-white mother-of-pearl dial features a lapis lazuli small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, a recessed and embossed railway-track minute track, and photoluminescent hour markers carved from solid Super-LumiNova ceramic, ensuring perfect readability day and night.

At the heart of the watch beats a Concepto caliber based on the Peseux 7001, enhanced by exclusive finishes: modified bridges decorated with hand-chamfered edges, a grained and copper-plated finish, a sunburst-finished ratchet, and a barrel with double spiral-cut decoration. It measures 2.5 mm in height, operates at a frequency of 3 Hz, and offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

The watch is presented on an alligator leather strap, featuring an exclusive interchangeable system with a Grade 5 titanium insert for quick and easy changes, and available in three sizes for a perfect fit.
