or the first time, the Vienna will be presented to the public at Time to Watches in Geneva on April 1, 2025. In this exclusive setting, where the world’s leading independent watchmakers gather, Carl Suchy & Söhne will unveil the first series of 50 pieces, available in its signature colours: Day, Blue Danube, and Night.
The refined, geometric lines of the Vienna reflect the city’s aesthetics – a reduction to the essentials, inspired by the precise architectural language of that era. Eric Giroud, the renowned designer of the Vienna, describes it as an homage to Viennese Modernism: “The dial features a meticulously crafted design with clear lines – it is very much Adolf Loos, very much Josef Hoffmann. I truly enjoyed immersing myself in this world. What fascinated me most was seeing how a brand with 200 years of history develops a new identity by integrating contemporary codes and modern lines.”
Viennese Modernism taught us that true beauty lies in clarity – perfection in form and function. No superfluous ornamentation, just the essentials. The Vienna follows this exact principle: light and shadow dance across the dial, the hands glide soundlessly through time. And the rotating seconds disc, completing a delicate pattern with every revolution, beats in sync with the city’s rhythm – a silent pulse that keeps Vienna in motion.
The Vienna is crafted with utmost precision by master watchmaker Marc Jenni, using meticulous hand-craftsmanship. Its exclusive Côte de Vienne finish gives the movement a distinctive signature – a subtle reference to Viennese aesthetics.
Powered by the ultra-thin automatic movement CSS-V1, the Vienna drives the Walzing Disc at six o’clock in a rhythmic motion. The 39 mm stainless steel (316L) case lends it an elegant presence, while the domed, double anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures a flawless view of the artistic dial. On the case back, a hidden detail is revealed: the golden micro-rotor intricately engraved with double griffins - a touch of imperial splendour and a symbol of royalty, visible only to the wearer. The fine leather strap holds yet another subtle tribute to Vienna – the inner side features a micro-engraved pattern of the iconic tiles of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
Vienna is not just architecture and design – it is also sound. The city pulses to the rhythm of its history: the deep tolling of the cathedral bells, the soft rattle of the trams, and the first notes of an aria drifting into the night from the Vienna State Opera. The Vienna follows this rhythm – its mechanical heart beats in sync with the city’s soul.
“Collectors appreciate our brand’s clear and unmistakable design language, inspired by the beauty and elegance of Vienna,” explains Robert Punkenhofer, CEO of Carl Suchy & Söhne.
“Many small details make the Vienna a unique timepiece – from our exclusive Côte de Vienne finish and the golden micro-rotor with engraved double griffins to the distinctive dial ornamentation with its rotating seconds disc.”
The Vienna is for those who do not simply visit Vienna but feel it. For those who know that true elegance does not need to be loud. A watch that unites past and present – a love letter to a city that defies definition. Vienna must be experienced.
