Singer Reimagined timepieces are by definition a love letter to the vintage design of iconic 60’s and 70’s timepieces, now enhanced by functional improvements and state of the art horological engineering. The idea that started the brand was reimagining one of the most iconic watch movements from that specific era: the Automatic Chronograph. The first three, and very iconic, automatic chronographs were, in fact, released in 1969. Chronomatic, El Primero and Caliber 6139 were publicly launched that very year.
1969 will be remembered as a year rich in incredible events, stories, discoveries, with culture-altering events like Woodstock, the Moon landing, Abbey Road - Beatles’ final album, and the first Concord flight, just to mention a few. A year that became iconic and meaningful for many reasons. At Singer Reimagined we decided to celebrate that fantastic year by introducing a new product line named 1969. A new watch collection designed as Singer Reimagined could have conceived and released it, in that precise year!
The 1969 Chronograph is the quintessential expression of Singer Reimagined high-watchmaking approach, featuring the most recent version of the famous Agengraphe caliber. A new time display, enhanced readability and the award-winning 60 hours chronograph function taking central stage on the dial. All of this condensed to only 40mm.
The 1969 Timer represents the ultimate example of complexity distilled to its purest form. An intricate zero-reset system combined with a flyback device is the hidden technical gem behind this three-hands timepiece. A simple push of the button at 2 o’clock allows for lightning fast elapsed-time measurement using the central second hand of your watch.
The design pays tribute to the style of that era even further. A new watch case, smaller dimensions and revised displays are coupled with a brand-new metal band. The quintessential elements for the icon to be, for men and women. A new model combining wearability, a strong personality and an elegant, distinctive style.
The case size of the new Singer 1969 collection is 40mm. A sober and stylishly design to fit every wrist. A development in design based on well-researched ergonomic and functional considerations.
The stainless-steel bracelet is composed of two contrasting elements. The edgy brushed “H” links are designed after racetracks’ curbs shape, providing a contrasted and vibrant effect. In contraposition, the rounded polished center links bring smooth reflections and sparkles of light. This combination ensures exceptional wearability and comfort. The brushed sloping facets are complemented by polished chamfers, visually extending the case profile with polished edges – a brand signature feature.
Executed in a very deep and precious piano-black lacquer finish, dials are enriched with an applied signature golden crown ring, adding an iconic and unexpected detail which complements the sobriety and functional minimalism of the graphics.
The movements, AGH 6365 and AGH 6363, are a re-engineered version of the award-winning Agengraphe and the versatile Flytrack, featuring updated displays to enhance functionalities and to fit their new 40mm housing. Both movements are engineered and produced to unique Singer specifications by Agenhor.
