A red sapphire housing: a technical and aesthetic feat
The choice of Ruby red sapphire glass For the case of this 40 mm watch is not trivial. This material, prized for its resistance and transparency, is rarely used in this form because of its machining complexity. In the case of the Wavy Red Heart, he plays a central role in the visual identity of the watch.
The red sapphire offers an intense shade which varies according to the angle and the lighting, amplifying the effect of wavy curves that characterize the design of the case Wavy. These fluid forms give the watch a particular aesthetic, which contrasts with the often angular lines of traditional watches.
A bright game inspired by heart rhythm
Beyond the choice of material, Artya has integrated a light circuit which produces a visual effect inspired by heartbeat. Thanks to a fluorescence system, a luminous pulsation is visible through the case, creating an interesting contrast between the rigidity of the sapphire and the feeling of movement induced by the light.
This brings an additional dimension to the watch, without disturbing its mechanical operation. The light effect, although discreet, reinforces the originality of the model and inscribes the watch in a more experimental approach to contemporary watchmaking.
A manufacture movement and craft finishes
On the mechanical side, Artya has chosen to integrate its caliber Stairway to Heaven HmsA Manual reassembly movement Designed and assembled internally. It is distinguished by several technical characteristics:
- Double barrel mounted in paralleloffering a 72 -hour walking reserve.
- 134 componentsentirely decorated by hand.
- Frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour (4 Hz)guaranteeing standard precision.
- Staircase -shaped pendulum bridgepolished by hand, which gives its name to the movement.
The attention paid to finishes is a key element of Artya know-how. Carved and shortbread timer bridgesas well as the wrapping by hand, recall the importance of crafts in the design of the watch.
A sleek dial and gold needles
The Wavy Red Heart’s dial remains voluntarily minimalist to give way to the play of light through the red sapphire. Only a few elements come to mark the landmarks of time:
- Brushed gold and diamond needleswhich bring a touch of contrast to the red background.
- A display of hours, minutes and seconds without frillsfavoring a simple and immediate reading.
This aesthetic choice contributes to the identity of the watch: rather than an overbidding of details, Artya puts on the strength of its material and on a refined approach to time.
