With the anniversary series of its legendary Worldmaster 1888 Limited Edition, Atlantic Watch SA is literally opening up a new chapter of its tradition-steeped 130-year history. The combination of a wristwatch with a pocket watch is symbolic, building a bridge from the past to the present.
Headquartered in Lengnau, Atlantic Watch SA has been creating watches of superb quality for 130 years with a focus on an appealing price/performance ratio. The Worldmaster 1888 Limited Edition is a debut collection presented by Atlantic Watch SA to pay tribute to the history of the venerable company. The wristwatch in an openable pocket watch case exhibits all of the hallmarks that constitute the 130-year success story of Atlantic Watch SA.
The Worldmaster 1888 Limited Edition Automatic is being launched in a 888-watch edition featuring a self-winding ETA 2824-2 movement. Both models are endowed with the original dial that has a date display at 3 o‘clock and a sunburst or an oxidized center.
The 44-mm pocket watch case with the onion crown emphasizes the contemporary nostalgic looks of this timepiece.
The Worldmaster 1888 Limited Edition Mechanical 17 Jewels comes in a 188-watch edition with a manufacture finished ETA 6498-1 movement. It is manually wound, revisiting the nostalgia of the pocket watch era.
Two different dials are available, both with a subsidiary seconds counter at 6 o’clock that is color-coordinated with the respective dial.
Whether with a sunburst or oxidized center as well as black numerals and hour markers, this pocket watch for the wrist stands out as a worthy milestone in the 130-year history of Atlantic Watch SA.
