AET Remould Crystal Watches Double As Exhibition Art

Topic:

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2022 / Using innovative materials such as sapphire crystal, German brand AET Remould focuses on the modification of luxury watches, producing unique timepieces in limited numbers. After five years of research and development in the application of sapphire, AET has continuously pushed the boundaries in watchmaking to explore the limits of watches. One of the hardest materials on earth, Sapphire can be complex and unpredictable to work with, proving to be a challenge for even some of the most skilled technicians. Yet, with immense focus and a clear vision for the future, AET Remould has managed to create entire watch cases made of pure sapphire crystal transforming coveted timepiece models into new works of art for the wrist.

One of the watch models on which AET Remould has made several modifications is the Cosmograph Daytona. First introduced in 1963, it's design is intended to meet the demands of professional racing drivers made for the high-performance world of motor sport. The AET Remould Country Collection includes three models, each named after world-famous countries - Columbia, Argentina, and Mexico - with defining elements of the country embodied in its design. Among the most spectacular designs is the Colombia Edition which has embedded in its design the Andean condor, considered the national bird by Colombia, representing holiness and majesty. On the dial of the watch we find illustrated next to the head of the Andean condor, three other elements representative of Colombia: the sun that watches over its citizens, the leaves of the palm tree from which the Andean condor guards and geographically the union of the five rivers illustrated by the color blue. A true piece of art, the only question that remains is whether this clock belongs on your wrist or in an exhibition.

Continuing with the Graffiti Collection, distinctive design themes include the Abu Dhabi Sapphire, Joy's Christmas, and Spread. Abu Dhabi Sapphire can express two moods, the first being the calmness of a light blue sky and the second being the transposition of the wearer behind the wheel of a racing car on one of the most famous F1 circuits in the world, Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit - it all depends on the perspective. But what AET Remould wanted to express by using the color that best describes speed, Abu Dhabi Blue, is the adrenaline rush you get behind the wheel of a car running around the circuit at high speeds.

The piece de resistance of the modifications made to the Cosmograph Daytona is Loong, launched in 2022 with a release edition of only 3 pieces. During the modification process sapphire was used to give a more complex vision of the watch dials. This time, the AET Remould craftsmen have also focused on the watch bracelet, coming up with an innovation in the world of watch modding, made like the majority of the watch elements from pure sapphires. In terms of design, the whole idea of the watch is based on the loong, as the most special fetish in Eastern culture. Loong represents respectful, righteousness, and nobility having strong influences on Eastern civilization. After the three-dimensional realization of Loong in 18K white gold, it is illustrated surrounding the entire dial conveying the central theme, with a ruby at the eye giving a dazzling image of rare beauty, the use of emerald on the bezel and hour markers completing the whole image.
