With Swiss workmanship at the helm, Vyntage Horology is born of relentless precision and dedication. Building on the foundations of the concept launched during Dubai Watch Week 2021, Vyntage Horology launches its first two collections at this year’s edition, Monograph and Purity.
To commemorate the launch of the brand, the Inner Circle model was introduced. The opulent limited-edition of 25 timepieces are set apart with their exquisite craftsmanship, making them true collectors’ items. The Inner Circle models feature Grand Feu Enamel dials, one of the oldest and most traditional techniques in watchmaking. The timepieces are encased in high-quality titanium, and come with leather straps crafted from camel leather, an ode to the heritage and culture of the region.
Monograph Inner Circle, a 40mm timepieces, features carefully hand applied Breguet numerals on the enamel dial, and an equally remarkable crystal flat sapphire case back, both with anti-reflective treatment on the inside. The choice of blue for the dial color is inspired by the desert sky at midnight, adding a touch of allure to the timepieces.
The Purity Inner Circle watch, a 39mm timepiece that is both durable and elegant, features a unique crown placement at 4 o'clock off-centre seconds hand. The striking white Enamel dial adorned with hand applied Breguet numerals, coupled with Swiss-made precision, ensures both sophistication and reliability, all encased in a distinctive case.
Vyntage Horology also includes two other watches that are part of the Monogoraph and Purity collections at this year’s edition: Light Blue and Silver.
The Monograph Light Blue features a 40mm stainless steel case and boasts a brushed light blue dial adorned with silver hand-applied Hindi numerals. Limited to 25 pieces, the piece is powered by a Swiss-made manual winding movement with mono-pusher chronograph.
The Purity Silver watch marries elegance with precision in a 39mm stainless steel case with a distinctive crown placement at 4 o'clock and off-centre seconds hand. Limited to 50 pieces, it features silvered hand-applied Roman indexes on the brushed dial and Swiss-made manual winding movement offer a perfect blend of sophistication and accuracy.
Each watch is an embodiment of the alchemical fusion of modernity and heritage, where innovation meets the cherished secrets of bygone eras.
