Baselworld 2013 Teaser

Forumners,

Buried in a retrospective post yesterday, CLICK link to see: home.watchprosite.com  

I sneaked in some hints for watches appearing at Baselworld 2013.  Nobody spotted one of them. 

Here is another snippet.....

Funky, huh?

After commenting (in confidence) on the prototype last year, PuristSPro is privileged to be showing the global press release a little early.

Here is the Introduction section.....

THE KAMBYS COLLECTION

The story
Because CYRUS relies only on the intuition of its founders,
Because CYRUS does not try to ‘be like ‘others’,
Because CYRUS has a unique history,
And simply because no great genius has ever existed without a touch of folly,

this is how the KAMBYS collection was born.

In a market dominated by automatic watches, CYRUS has dared to launch a timepiece with manual double barrel winding and a seven-day power reserve. The movement (290 components, 50 rubies) is a 100% in-house manufacture movement, created under the aegis of renowned, award-winning Swiss watchmaker Jean-François Mojon.

The design of this timepiece (available in titanium and black /red gold DLC titanium) was developed in perfect synergy with the brand’s identity, which places great emphasis on attention to detail. Recognizable as a CYRUS from first glance, it has a sleek design, where each element has been carefully weighed up and designed by our in-house team. A patented design, which perfectly moulds the shape of the wrist.

This collection is the fruit of the partnership between our two founders, Julien and Laurent LECAMP. The selection of functions, the manual movement, the design features and the unusual bracelet were all created and developed within the family, with the utmost respect for the CYRUS philosophy. The distinctive mark of the two cousins can be found discreetly inscribed on the back of the calibre. Four digits, 7778 are etched, recalling the cousins’ two birth dates.

What does it do? 

Regards,

MTF
