88 RUE DU RHONE – The Urban Class
During Baselworld 2013 watch fair, 88 RUE DU RHONE, the first accessible Swiss made luxury watch brand from the Bernheim Brothers, unveiled a contemporary wristwatch designed for men.
The Urban Class by 88 RUE DU RHONE bursts onto the scene with status and sophistication bringing to life an audience seeking the optimum in urban beauty. A Swiss-made timepiece, the Urban Class meets the needs of the watch aficionados who want a design that is transitional from day-time wear to evening style.
A 45mm stainless steel and matt black PVD case allows the timepiece to be modern and on trend providing a sleek feel to the wearer’s wrist and encases a dial whose color radiates with little alterations in design.
Simplicity in design is what keeps the 88 RUE DU RHONE Double 8 Origin Urban Class front and center for the world to see and admire. The subtle 8-filigree motif that marks the dial reflects luck and fortune without being ostentatious in design.
A jet-black leather alligator padding strap completes the piece adding the seamless balance to the “day to evening” wearability.
