2 Drops From ALTO & Bremont Reimagine Flagship Watches Into Straight Fire!
Trends in watch design often swing like a pendulum – on one extreme, minimalist looks meant to disappear on your wrist; the other, creations meant to reach out and transfix you.
If you're not sure which side of the spectrum you sit on, here are two absolutely dazzling pieces that will help narrow down your choices.
ALTO ART 01 Monochrome Editions
ALTO, an independent watch brand, debuted with its first ART 01 watch last spring.
Two new black-and-white versions of the ART 01 have been released as the brand welcomes Raphaël Abeillon as its new creative director.
The new variations, which are appropriately called the Monochrome Editions, are the outcome of Abeillon's recent addition of the ART 01.
The new watches, which are based on a complementary duochrome palette, come in Titanium Grey and Black and have more subdued, tonal looks while maintaining the model's distinctive louvred dial and shape.
According to an official statement from the brand, 'Black is the absence of visible light, but for ALTO, it is a luminous void.'
The titanium case of the ART 01 MONOCHROME BLACK, which is dressed in its namesake colour, has a DLC finish that resembles satin. The microblasted titanium case of the ART 01 MONOCHROME GREY edition, on the other hand, evokes an allure that perfectly balances light and dark.
The new versions are outfitted with the eye-catching and creative A01 Manufacture movement, just like the original ART 01.
Through a counter-clockwise winding movement, the seconds hand powers the watch, which is proudly displayed through the caseback.
For a seamless appearance, both MONOCHROME Edition watches are matched with FKM straps in the same hue. Available in limited quantities, you can check out their selection and enquire about prices through ALTO's official website.
Bremont Reimagines Terra Nova Collection In Bronze
Bremont debuted three bronze-clad references for the first time with the new Terra Nova Bronze Collection.
Bremont, which is well-known for producing strong and durable tool watches, uses 904L steel and Cupro-aluminium, a premium bronze alloy, to create the new timepieces in their Terra Nova Bronze Collection.
Compared to conventional bronze, cupro-aluminium has a number of benefits, such as being hypoallergenic and having a higher scratch resistance, which helps preserve its appearance over time. When it comes to wristwatches, every gram matters, even though it is marginally lighter than traditional steel and bronze.
By avoiding the uneven green or black discolouration that characterises traditional bronze, the alloy offers a distinctive visual appeal with a soft golden tone and a warm reddish hue. Over time, the patina develops gradually and evenly.
The collection includes three models: a 40.5mm date model with a green dial, a 42.5mm chronograph version with a gradient green watch face, and a turning bezel power reserve bronze model with a caramel gradient dial.
The caramel gradient dial version, which is limited to 100 pieces, is accompanied by a bronze Cupro-aluminium bracelet. The other version, meanwhile, comes with two-tone NATO straps and nubuck leather straps.
