Inspired by open roads and clear skies
Sky Blue Collection
A Fresh and Iconic AV86 Expression
Over the years, sky blue has become one of the most recognizable expressions in our collections. A color inspired by clear skies, vintage motoring, and timeless European design.
The Sky Blue Collection continues that legacy through two distinct chronographs, each shaped by heritage, precision, and character. From the sporty elegance of the 1960 Racing Chronograph to the layered complexity of the 1934 Multichron, the collection brings a fresh interpretation to one of our most iconic dial colors.
Balanced by warm cream tones, polished steel details, and subtle orange accents, the sky blue dial shifts beautifully with the light, capturing the effortless sophistication of long drives, open roads, and slow afternoons along the coast.
Your time. Your moments.
All Dressed Up And Everywhere to Go
The Sky Blue Collection is inspired by open roads and clear skies. It captures the freedom of going everywhere or nowhere at all.
Long coastal drives. Music playing through open windows as the late afternoon sun stretches shadows and the night begins to unfold. Being exactly where you want to be.
Shot in Nice, France, the collection reflects the effortless elegance of vintage motoring culture and timeless European style. A world where dressing with intention comes naturally, the day feels completely open, and time quietly becomes your own.
Because the best moments are rarely the ones planned ahead.
1960 Racing
✛ Iconic Sports Chronograph
Inspired by the golden age of motorsport, the 1960 Racing Chronograph captures the spirit of open roads, mechanical precision, and timeless design.
The sky blue dial brings a fresh expression to one of our most iconic chronograph silhouettes. Paired with warm cream sub dials, racing-inspired details, and polished steel elements, the watch balances vintage character with a refined contemporary edge.
In the 1960s, chronographs became essential companions for drivers, engineers, and racing teams. Built to measure speed, distance, and decisive moments on the track, they quickly became symbols of precision and performance both on and off the circuit.
The 1960 Racing Chronograph continues that legacy with a design inspired by classic racing instrumentation and the effortless elegance of European motoring culture.
From winding coastal roads to everyday moments, it is a watch designed for those who appreciate timeless style, mechanical character, and the enduring appeal of an iconic blue dial.
1934 Multichron
✛ Iconic Multi-scale Chronograph
In 1934, the second pusher on the chronograph watch was introduced, transforming the functionality of the modern chronograph and marking a new era of precision timing.
The 1934 Multichron continues that spirit of innovation through a refined composition of telemeter, pulsemeter, and tachymeter scales, designed to measure distance, speed, and pulse in one harmonious display.
More than functional instruments, these scales invite a different relationship with time. One that feels slower, more observant, and deeply connected to the moment.
The sky blue dial brings a fresh expression to the Multichron design. Paired with warm cream tones, polished steel details, and subtle orange accents, the watch balances technical character with understated elegance.
From measuring the distant sound of thunder to tracking the rhythm of your pulse, the 1934 Multichron transforms everyday moments into something tactile and intentional.
A chronograph shaped by heritage, inspired by curiosity, and defined by the enduring appeal of iconic blue dials.
Functional Details
Scales and Materials
Rooted in the functional design of vintage chronographs, the Sky Blue Collection combines classic measuring scales with refined materials and modern durability. From tachymeter, telemeter, and pulsemeter functions to the scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, each detail reflects the technical character that defined an era of mechanical watchmaking.
Tachymeter
1960 Racing and 1934 Multichron
Designed for measuring average speed over a fixed distance, the tachymeter scale transforms the chronograph into a functional timing instrument. A classic feature rooted in motorsport history, it allows speed calculations based on elapsed time.
Telemeter
1934 Multichron
The telemeter scale measures distance through sound. By calculating the time between a visible event and the moment its sound is heard, the scale can estimate how far away the event occurred.
Pulsemeter
1934 Multichron
Originally developed for medical professionals, the pulsemeter scale measures heart rate based on a fixed number of pulsations. Integrated into the chronograph display, it combines practical functionality with vintage character.
Ceramic bezel
1960 Racing
The 1960 Racing Chronograph features a premium ceramic bezel with exceptional resistance to scratches and wear. Chosen for both its durability and refined finish, the material preserves its deep color and polished appearance over time.
