Arnaud Tellier, the former head of Geneva Patek Philippe museum, has just launched a new watchmaking brand – 2LMX.
Their first model has been unveiled recently and it represents an exceptionally rare piece, but in a contemporary sense of the word. Each of the watches is designed and manufactured in Switzerland, skillfully finished and assembled by hand. It takes no less than 1,000 hours to create each of these complicated futuristic pieces that go far beyond the standards established by traditional Swiss watchmaking industry. Each year, the brand releases a limited edition of only 5 exemplars of which each one is unique due to its distinctive composition.
The first limited edition features a model in rose gold with black dial or white dial, a model in white gold with black or white dial, and a model in DLC coated white gold with black dial. Each piece bears an inscription on the sapphire crystal “Pièce unique 1/1, série 20XX.”
The 2LMX watch has a vertically mounted tourbillon, a split three-dimensional dial, and a sapphire crystal glass on each side of the case. The core of a watch is exposed from all directions, allowing the wearer to enjoy a spectacular view. This manually wound movement generates its driving force by two parallel connected cylinders. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and allows for 120 hours of power reserve. The time is indicated by rolling drums, and everything looks truly amazing in action. As you can see on the pictures, two of these rolling drums feature another drum within, which allows them to indicate two digits on such a small space. This feature is stretched to its limits since the watch indicates time only in a 24-hour format.
In addition to 5-piece limited edition, the brand will also produce three customized unique pieces each year on demand. The customers can choose anything from case materials, colors of the rollers and numbers, color and material for the bracelet, and opt for diamond setting.
