ALTANUS Sculpture

Let me confess, I’m not a big fan of skeleton watches… Don’t get me wrong, I love looking at the mechanism of a timepiece, but when it comes to the dial, I favour simplicity and readability and I prefer admiring the calibre trough a transparent back.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Now that I’m absolved of this sin, the Altanus Sculpture is an exception. The watch is not easy to read, but I like it. This is not a regular timepiece — as its name says it — it’s a sculpture, a work of art, a monument to commemorate 100 years of existence.

The mechanical hand-wound Altanus EB1016 skeleton calibre has no decoration, no engraving what so ever, just clean lines that let their wearer enjoy the inner working of the mechanism.

The Altanus Sculpture watch comes in three versions: steel, steel with pink gold PVD
treatment, or steel with anthracite PVD treatment.
