A New Scissor Cut 1 / 1 with appliqué of Artya
The Swiss watch brand Artya again struck the admirers of Horlogerie by a new watch model Scissor Cut 1 / 1 with a dial decorated with appliqué. The line is launched in September 2011. It is a tribute to the art of paper cutting and paper applications, which arose in the 16th century Switzerland. In the 18th century this art was brought to Colonial America by immigrants from Europe.
The models have two sizes of the cases. Men's watches have a case with a diameter of 47 mm, and female models - with the case in diameter of 38 mm. The round cases from stainless steel are exposed to current high-voltage up to 1000000. Such a procedure makes each case into a unique piece. The watch water-resistant is up to 50 meters. The caseback is decorated with the inscription «Artya unique piece 1 / 1».
Each dial is a unique handmade work of art of an artist-applicator. The skeletonised hands are perfectly matched with the general background of the dial.
The men’s wristwatches are designed on the base of the Swiss automatic mechanism, committing 28 800 vph. The women's models are based on the high-precision quartz movement.
The watch straps are available in handmade alligator skin or fabric.
