Cimier dials are certainly never boring! The brand based in central Switzerland once again demonstrates its ability to surprise observers by presenting a mechanical masterpiece: the “Heures Sectorielles” watch. The hour display is spread across a 180° sector featuring an outer and inner arc of a circle, with the double hour hand pointing to either one. Never at a loss for ideas, Cimier plays with visual perspectives by offsetting the crown and thus creating a perfect axis with the highly original small seconds display. The brand’s hallmark sense of detail is revealed in the exquisitely decorated Swiss movement and the skeletonised dial elements enabling a clear view of the finely circular-grained plate.
