The year 2010 marks the 125th anniversary of SAINT HONORE. What could be more appropriate to celebrate this event than launching a limited series of watches embodying the brand’s history and savoir-faire?
Six exclusive pieces are the result of SAINT HONORE’s passionate pursuit of this purpose, guided by two principal ideas: to revisit certain aspects of the watchmaker’s classics – Orsay, Monceau, Haussman – and to add a generous dose of the best of SAINT HONORE spirit. This spirit is summed up in four qualities: Parisian style, Swiss watchmaking tradition, innovation, and audacious design.
The ladies’ “125th Anniversary” watches are adorned with bronze cases and silky leather straps in magical, pearly brown. The exceptionally pure white mother-of-pearl dial bears the famous rotating SH monogram, invented by SAINT HONORE in 2005, a tip of the hat to the 1885 Tourbillon Collection. Another feminine touch is found in the diamond-set indices on the Orsay and Monceau models or the diamond-set bezel of the Haussman line.
The gents’ “125th Anniversary” watches come with a titanium-coloured PVD case and a deep brown dial. Screws take on the look of indices, exuding a more masculine air as an original complement to the special hands. The whole ensemble is set off handsomely by a crocodile-patterned leather strap of exceptional quality.
An engraved back with the “125th Anniversary” logo in the shape of a Paris street sign adds the final touch.
To keep the magic alive, these series are limited to 125 watches for each model, presented in a special case with a leather wallet that exactly matches the leather of the strap: lustrous brown silky leather for women and brown crocodile-patterned leather for men.
