After the successful launch of the Manufactura 1528 and Competentia 1515 collections, Swiss luxury watchmaker Julien Coudray 1518 presents its third collection, the Classica 1548.
The Julien Coudray 1518 Classica 1548 is a sober and refined timepiece that deliberately asserts the Le Locle based brand’s codes.
It features a 43 mm case and a 13-part enamelled dial, from which the name julien Coudray 1518 has been erased. In its place is the Manufacture logo, engraved and enamelled on the gold index at 8 o’clock with at 12 o’clock the operating indicator window, a now essential brand signature.
The Classica 1548 model is equipped with a double-barrel hand-wound movement, boasting a power reserve of more than 100 hours, as well as a stop seconds system.
During time-setting, the seconds hand stops running at 12 o’clock, and restarts from this position once the crown is pressed back in.
The Julien Coudray 1518 Classica 1548 watch is available in 18-carat solid gold, 2N yellow, 5N red, Pd 125 gray or Pt 950 platinum. Each version is limited to 48 pieces.
