Harmonin mellan form och funktion

Manuel Emch, vd för klocktillverkaren RJ Watches, har varit polare med klockdesignern Alain Silberstein i 15 år och nu presenterar de för första gången ett samarbete - klockan Subcraft. Den ser inte ut som en vanlig klocka och ska istället vara något som representerar harmonin mellan form och funktion. Tillverkas i titan och finns i svart eller grått. Timmarna läser man på sidan medan minuterna gömmer sig under ett glas ovanpå klockan.

Endast 99 stycken exemplar kommer att tillverkas och på prislappen står det 24 000 dollar. Allt om klockan finns att läsa på länken eller i pressmeddelandet nedan.

THE SUBCRAFT – WHEN MECHANICAL INGENUITY MEETS FLUID DESIGN

Manuel Emch, CEO of RJ Watches, reveals the brands new collaboration with famous watch designer, Alain Silberstein and introduces a new and innovative timepiece: The Subcraft.

RJ-Romain Jerome’s new timepiece is the story of two contemporary visionaries that share the same inspiration for design. Friends for the past 15 years, Manuel Emch and Alain Silberstein have finally decided to lay down their ideas and develop together RJ-Romain Jerome’s latest creation: the Subcraft. Inspired by “fluid design”, the Subcraft reflects the absence of ornamentation and brings out the harmony that is found between form and function. This aerodynamic timepiece is also a representation of shapes found in Nature, for example – the majestic dance of a Manta Ray. Devoid of any straight lines, this time giving sculpture allows this futuristic concept to come to life with an innovative and highly sophisticated mechanism.

The Subcrafts’ flawless aquatic dance is the result of a meticulously crafted Grade 5 titanium or black PVD-coated titanium case. Designed to minimize resistance to motion, the case houses an ingenious mechanical movement created for RJ-Romain Jerome by Agenhor. The Subcraft hides its true heart under its smooth, flawless case, revealing Manuel Emch and Jean-Marc Wiederrecht’s mechanical collaboration with the creation of a unique movement that brings this new timepiece to life. This highly sophisticated movement combines four different complications – lateral, linear, jumping and retrograde – and represents one of the most complicated indications of time ever made to date.

On both models, the hour display is read laterally, under a cambered glass, highlighting the curves of the case to perfection. The minute display has been placed on the lid of the watch, under a black sphere glass mirroring the fluid design of the Subcraft. The minute counter has been traced in white featuring sporty designed numerals. Finally, the crown has been tucked at the extremity of the case creating a protective shell over it.

Additionally, an all new black smooth calf cuff embraces the unique shape of the Subcraft inducing the comfort of the watch. The cuff has been designed with an opening under the watch’s case-back, allowing the wearer to see the “RJ X Alain Silberstein” signature and which limited timepiece he owns, out of the 99 available worldwide.

The new Subcraft plays with the aesthetic of the brand’s iconic Spacecraft, yet this new addition to the Collaborations collection flirts with underwater mysteries and reveals a new fluid look that will transport you on another RJ-Romain Jerome quest.
