PURITY STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN STEEL BLACK

Exceptional in architecture and arrangement, the ArtyA Purity Stairway To Heaven watch is a technical showcase for contemporary Independent Watchmaking, and this stunning piece signifies a meritorious accomplishment for the ArtyA Atelier as they reflect upon 15 years of innovation. The model carries a 40mm case, and is available in options of stainless steel, black PVD stainless steel or in ceramic cases in choices of white, black, green or blue, and with various dial colours. In tribute to the company’s significant achievements with technical construction materials, the case flanks feature carbon fibre inserts, while embracing the grooved crown, the flowing guards add distinctiveness to the case profile.

While previous models in the Purity series have featured Tourbillon escapements, the ArtyA Purity Stairway To Heaven is notable for its minimalist time-only layout, with each component of the Manufacture calibre reduced to their essentia by extreme skeletonisation. The hours and minutes are on their own openworked dial, equipped with asymmetrically positioned sand-blasted and diamond-polished hands. Just beneath it, the pair of barrels are placed in parallel, delivering a smooth release of energy of a reserve of power up to 72 hours, while on the left, the Stairway To Heaven escapement is clasped beneath an exquisite labyrinthine of slender, curving hand-beveled bridges. An excellent example of design holism, with both case and movement meticulously finished so that they adhere to the same styling codes, the watch has a momentous wrist presence that promises endless fascination for the wearer.

The ArtyA Purity Stairway To Heaven models are powered by a Swiss Manufacture manual winding movement developed in partnership with La Chaux-de-Fonds based movement specialist Télôs SA, that operates at a frequency of 28’800 vib/h. The models are worn on rubber or leather straps, secured via a pin buckle and are presented in a limited edition of only 99 pieces per configuration.

Boasting unique aesthetics, and brimming with contemporary horologic mastery, the ArtyA Purity Stairway to Heaven Steel Black is presented in a 40mm case of black PVD stainless steel, with carbon fibre flanks. The model showcases a full dial-side exposé of the components of its skeletonised Manufacture manual winding movement, featuring a suspended Stairway To Heaven escapement and a double parallel barrel arrangement, and this is complemented by an equally impressive rear side view through the sapphire case back. A notable addition to the portfolio, the collection features an offset and openworked time-only display indicating the hours and minutes. Created by ArtyA to celebrate 15 years in the Independent Watchmaking landscape, this sophisticated and visually spectacular watch is offered in a limited edition of only 99 pieces.
