Crafted for the collector who values unconventional design and mechanical intrigue, the Roswell 08 from Schwarz Etienne stands as a bold expression of contemporary independent watchmaking.
Dial side, we find a striking blend of rich tobacco brown with vivid neon green accents for the date and power reserve complication. Next door to the date disc lies the exposed balance wheel operating at 3Hz. Positioned at 9 o'clock, the exposed micro-rotor swings back and forth, driving energy into the movement while creating constant visual motion and maintaining its 86-hour power reserve. The lower crown guard serves as a pusher to manipulate the complex date module, whose star wheel, jumper springs, and levers are in full view.
Underneath the sapphire crystal caseback lies a Matrix-themed sticker with a Schwarz Etienne logo that vanishes at certain angles (see video in slide 5).... easily one of the coolest casebacks I've ever seen!
The Stainless Steel case measures 45mm x 13.5mm x 49mm lug-to-lug and is in excellent condition. Furnished on an OEM brown calfskin strap with Schwarz Etienne signed folding buckle. Box and Undated Papers.
