Classic

A timepiece of uncompromising character, at once original and sober, where modern carbon meets the reliable and timeless nature of stainless steel.

Bringing the fiery and innovative Magma concept into a more classical universe took special flair, and simple but clever choices in production materials. The addition of gently rounded carbon-fibre inserts into a sober stainless-steel bezel proved a stroke of genius. Made under special conditions using a 50-ton press to eliminate fraying, each insert is then fitted by hand into the bezel, for a breathtaking visual result. The Classic is produced from highly resistant, state-of-the-art 316L stainless steel alloy.

– Limited Edition series of 1482 individually-numbered total units / 494 units per model

Magma of Respect

Each timepiece in the Magma Collection carries a special screwed-on sidebar of immeasurable value, cast with the honorary tribute “Magma of Respect”.

Each bar was exclusively produced from alloy obtained by the simultaneous fusion of five distinguished top-of-the-line Swiss watches.

This potent homage, legally notarized under witness, brings a small but very special piece of time to your timepiece, a fragment of Swiss watchmaking history. Quite literally.
