GRECO Genève Les Temps Modernes – Hexagonal Nut-design Watch
Swiss watch brand GRECO Genève unveils its collection Les Temps Modernes, an iconic Hexagonal Nut-design watch.
The simple machine nut –an indispensable reference in industrial design –is lodged deep within the collective unconscious of the world. Today, this design element steps up from its functional origins to affirm a new mechanical identity: chronometric precision and excellence in Swiss watchmaking.
In watchmaking, where aesthetic values go often hand-in-hand with their functional counterparts, some of the most legendary designs are the direct descendants of functionality.
At the other end of the spectrum, GRECO Genève’s approach has been to metamorphose a quintessentially functional object into a luxury item: trendy, urban and totally contemporary. Today two editions of the Hexagonal Nut-design watch are being launched, heralds of the collection Les Temps Modernes: the LTM-18t and the LTM-04t.
These timepieces, bold in character, are recognizable even from a distance as the signature of GRECO Genève. They unite state-of-the-art technique, the most modern materials and unrivalled savoir faire. They embody excellence.
For this watch, GRECO Genève has fitted an authentic Swiss movement into a waterproof case in the form of a machine nut, including screw threads.
