CHAUMET Dandy Arty Open Face for Only Watch 2011

Chaumet Dandy Arty Open Face is the one-of-a-kind creation, and it belongs to a family of recently released Dandy Edition Arty Open Face watches. Two limited-edition versions of this watch are now joined by the unique piece in a cushion-shaped stainless steel case with a transparent case-back. The case is skillfully polished and graced with a large grown at 12 o’clock. It features unusual blue sapphire crystals from both sides, and gracious curved lugs.

Beautiful dial offers off-centered hours and minutes laid on a movement plate with Fausses Côtes decoration. These soft undulating lines are frequently used to embellish high-quality movements. The part of the movement is exposed through the watch dial, and the off-center seconds are removed and replaced by a blue perforated wheel, positioned at 3 o’clock. Deep blue surface of the dial melts in harmony with a single vertical blue stripe – a detail that repeats again on the wristband.



The 40-millimeters wide watch is powered by rhodium-plated CP 12V-V caliber. This self-winding movement is built on 25 jewels and integrates some of the most refined technical features: a shock absorber, a monometallic balance and a straight-line lever escapement. The rotor of a movement is graced with the “Dandy” pattern engraving. Dial, case and movement are signed, and the watch is delivered in a fitted box, accompanied with a Certificate.

If you’re interested in this piece, the biannualOnly Watch 2011 Charity Auction starts on September 22, 2011. The auction is held in Monaco, at Hotel Hermitage. Since the last edition in September 2009, € 2,5 million have been donated to 18 scientific partners for research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
