On the occasion of its first appearance at the prestigious trade fair Watches & Wondersthe watchmaking house unveils its latest creation: “Purity Stairway To Heaven“This event marks a significant milestone in the journey of ArtyA, a company that, since its founding in 2009 by Yvan Arpahas constantly pushed the boundaries of watch innovation and design.
“Purity Stairway To Heaven” is not just a watch; it is a statement, a manifesto that reaffirms ArtyA’s commitment to purity and simplicity, wrapped in astonishing technical complexity. With a new manufacture movement that emphasizes transparency and elegance, ArtyA seeks to express unparalleled sophistication, where each component is designed to reveal the very essence of the watch in its purest form.

Its creations, often described as unbridled and daring, have not only defined an aesthetic but also set a new standard in the world of watchmaking. The “Purity” concept, introduced in 2021, embodies this quest for minimalist elegance, showcasing a clean design and sophisticated mechanics with its 4 hz tourbillon watches.
The latest addition to the “Purity” family is an exclusive manufacture movement, designed and produced entirely in Switzerland. This movement, representing the pinnacle of ArtyA’s technical expertise, perfectly illustrates the fusion of aesthetics and functionality. With its two hands, its refined design, and its extreme skeletonization, it reveals a complex beauty and unparalleled precision.
ArtyA’s new creation is a true spectacle for the eyes, with its suspended “starified” escapement, parallel barrels, and hand-arched and angled bridges. Every aspect of “Purity Stairway To Heaven” has been carefully designed to offer an unprecedented visual and mechanical experience. The dial, moved to 3 o’clock, allows for unhindered admiration of this captivating mechanical architecture.
“Purity Stairway To Heaven” breaks with tradition by reversing the established order of the movement components. This innovative approach creates an impression of emptiness, from which the components emerge in a harmony of shapes and volumes. The finishes, the reflections of light, and the play between light and shadow accentuate the impression of depth and dynamism, offering a completely different reading of the watch.
Beyond its beauty, “Purity Stairway To Heaven” is designed to be functional and comfortable for everyday use. Its readability, integrated rubber strap, and water resistance up to 50 meters ensure an exceptional user experience.
