Michel GMT
Swiss made - Launching spring 2025
This timepiece draws its inspiration from my grandfather Michel's everyday watch, a Lip Dayate from 1976. He wore it faithfully, regardless of the occasion, and I have vivid memories of him wearing it throughout my life.
Named after my grandfather, the "Michel GMT" offers a contemporary reinterpretation of a 1970s design. With a 40mm case blending elements of a tonneau and a cushion, it boasts intricate mirror polishing and a sunray radial brush. The generously sized dial incorporates various textures, featuring a radial brush in the center, a satin ring, and etched patterns on the outer ring. Large applied indexes and distinctive mountain-cut hands pay homage to 1970s timepieces, captivating light at different angles and creating an ever-changing aesthetic.
