This year Pierre Kunz is going to hold a show at Watchland in Genthod, Switzerland. The watchmaker intends to show three new timepieces, all provided with retrograde function, the signature feature of Kunz creations.
According to Stefan Kunz, Vice President of Pierre Kunz, retrograde is a major key to Pierre Kunz watches. Right now the watchmaker is looking for alternative ways to come up with something special for the horology field. Meanwhile, exclusively designed watches with retrograde functions are the visit cards of the Pierre Kunz brand.
For the watches to be introduced this year, Pierre Kunz has opened up their dials to display parts of the inside mechanisms.
The first of the three timepieces is originally called the Tahiti Moon. The Pierre Kunz watch sports Tahitian mother-of-pearl that surrounds the moon phase indication. The timepiece reveals an open dial and hour and minute retrogrades. The Tahiti Moon is crafted in white gold, red gold, platinum and steel. The steel version of the watch applies a different dial treatment that makes it different from the precious metals.
The next Pierre Kunz timepiece is called the Second Time Zone. The watch incorporates a GMT retrograde hour hand, big date display with a special opening at the bottom of the dial to display the date wheels, as well as a day-night indicator for the second time zone. The Second Time Zone watch offers the choice between two case sizes - it is available in 41 mm and 44 mm sizes, either in gold or platinum.
The Tourbillon Art-Deco is last timepiece to enter Pierre Kunz 2007 watch collection to be presented this year. It is developed as a square-shaped tourbillon that was more complicated and more difficult to create.
Having turned 5 years old this year, the Pierre Kunz brand is really optimistic about the future.
