Description

ROOTS. How could it be called anything else?

This exceptional creation, imagined by the craftsman Philippe Narbel, takes us back to the source of Haute Horlogerie. The ensemble and minutia of the ROOTS watch were designed in the purest spirit of watchmaking tradition but transformed into something proudly contemporary. Better still, this watch is the perfect embodiment of a new genre that the most prominent designers are embracing: Slow Design.

In a minimalist fashion he plays with the metals, textures and volumes. This watch contains any number of little details that reveal themselves like secrets when you take the time to look closer.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
