Swiss luxury watch maker Valbray welcomes two new members to its V.01 collection.
Introduced in 2010 by Valbray, the V.01 collection consisted of interactive high-end watches integrating a complex circular shutter system under a rotating bezel.
This year, in addition to the extended collection, Valbray introduces two new playful models dedicated to passionate collectors: Angel & Devil.
VALBRAY V.01 Angel
The V.01 Angel is light weight, made of titanium and hand polished and graced with a luminescent and ethereal appearance.
The concentrically opening diaphragm is again present on this model, but this time the blades are covered with a fine golden powder and the mechanism is hidden under a bezel paved with 60 brilliant-cut diamonds, one for every minute, totaling one and a half carats.
The hands of the hours and minutes take the appearance of the extraordinary wings of an angel cut from the metal, while the back of the watch, its more secret area, allows a peek into the movement through the black sapphire glace on which the word “Angel” is engraved within a halo.
Angel wings are designed on the inside of the strap, angelically beautifying the magnificent white alligator strap. A collectors timepiece, the VALBRAY V.01 Angel is offered in only 25 pieces.

VALBRAY V.01 Devil
Created out of a titanium block, the V.01 Devil gets its colors from the depths of the earth, black like the darkness and red like the flames of lava.
The finely open worked dial with the honeycomb grid and the mix of black and red give it an aggressive, brooding and masculine character. The hand of the seconds, redesigned as the devil’s trident, confirms the character of the watch.
On its back we can still see the devil’s tail disappearing after having engraved its name, “Devil”, on the black sapphire glass with its nails.
This model is completed with a strap in black alligator with red stitching and a deployant buckle. The VALBRAY V.01 Devil watch is available in only 25 pieces.
