The ArtyA ‘Purity Central Tourbillon Blue’ has been nominated for the ‘Men’s Complication’ category, standing out for its impressive 20mm central tourbillon, dual-barrel Manufacture movement, and sapphire crystal case.

This recognition by the Academy of the most prestigious horological award highlights the exponential recognition the independent Geneva-based brand has been receiving.

2024 marks a milestone year for ArtyA, which – celebrating its fifteenth anniversary in 2024 – has participated in all the major horological events of the year. This includes its debut at the Watches & Wonders salon, its participation in the OnlyWatch charity auction, and now, its nomination for the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

The bold creation selected by the Academy, a majestic 20mm central tourbillon beating at a frequency of 4 Hz, is a true feat of technical and aesthetic balance. It is 5th in-house caliber developed by ArtyA and the 4th to feature a tourbillon. With its tungsten rotor, it is also the brand’s first caliber to feature automatic winding.

The two barrels, mounted in parallel, provide a generous power reserve of over 60 hours. The time display has been entirely reimagined with two peripheral hands that gracefully rotate around the tourbillon.

In a nod to ArtyA’s expertise in colored sapphire crystal, one of its specialties, the dial is crafted from blue sapphire, which transforms into a deep violet under UV light—a subtle touch of elegance and technical mastery.

More than just a watch, the ‘Purity Central Tourbillon Blue’ by ArtyA is a testament to the brand’s unwavering pursuit of excellence and passion for craftsmanship.
