To mark its 130th anniversary, Saint Honore has designed a collector's timepiece which is said to be the first ever to be made from a piece of metal girder from the Eiffel Tower in France.
The watch maker has used this precious component to make the bezel, its decoration and brown colour an unmistakable reference to the famous monument in Paris.
The bezel surrounds a raised dial based on the same architecture; at its centre, it reveals the wheel train of the automatic mechanical movement specially personalised by the Swiss manufacture.
Mounted on an elegant brown “croco design” leather strap, the Tour Eiffel timepiece has been manufactured in a limited series of 1,885 pieces in steel - in homage to the year the watchmaking house was established.
The watches, says the manufacture, offer a “unique opportunity to wear on your wrist an exceptional symbol of France and the technological genius of Gustave Eiffel”.
The watch has a 42-mm steel case, and the bezel is decorated with a diamond motif, silver open dial echoing the architecture of the Eiffel Tower. It is powered by a Sellita SW 200 automatic movement, has a personalised oscillating weight and crown, date, sapphire glass, and is water resistant to 50 m.
It comes with a collector’s case, and a certificate of authenticity signed by the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), the Eiffel Tower committee.
Since 1885, Saint Honore has been synonymous with the famous “Paris style” and has been manufacturing collections of unrivalled designs. Offering all the assurance of Swiss quality, its timepieces have a unique character and are crafted in the finest materials with eye-catching details. SAINT HONORE offers watches, jewellery and accessories that continue to “fulfil the desires of the day”.
