ARISTO VOLLMER GmbH is a player making news in the watch world, representing the “Made in Germany” label. True to German design and engineering, the brand is a pioneer in modern carbon-fibre materials, which are used in combination with steel or titanium. Its collection includes classic, design and sport lines, which incorporate elements of earth, water and air.

The Carbon Trophy 2015 chronograph is one example, designed with motor sport lovers in mind. The carbon dial is made from the same materials that are used in the chassis of race cars, making it lightweight and extremely strong. The contrasting red stopwatch second hand also pays tribute to timing and speed. The unique strap is also made from carbon, handcrafted in the tradition of the company since 1922. (VJ)
