The story behind this Emile Chouriet Soleos Architect Blue
Emile Chouriet pays tribute to a 17th-century Geneva master watchmaker renowned for his art of enamelling. Founded in Meyrin, the manufacture continues this deep-rooted connection to Swiss tradition whilst adapting it to contemporary demands. The Soleos Architect Blue 08.1153.G.6.6.98.6 model is part of this commitment to horological continuity. It has been designed to offer a natural transition between Geneva’s classical heritage and the look of a sports watch with an integrated bracelet. Its design meets the need for a versatile timepiece. The integration of a fluted bezel into a modern design is a feature that pays homage to historical design codes whilst enhancing the way light plays on the case.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Soleos Architect
This timepiece features a 40 mm stainless steel case. Its rounded, balanced shape is emphasised by a finely fluted bezel framing a sapphire crystal. The dial features a deep blue colour with a sunray finish that creates subtle plays of light. The hours and minutes are indicated by sword-shaped hands and applied baton hour-markers in polished metal. A date window is positioned at 3 o’clock. The sapphire crystal case back allows a view of the EC9316 self-winding mechanical movement. This movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 38 hours. The oscillating weight is personalised with a Côtes de Genève finish. This timepiece is water-resistant to 30 metres. The steel bracelet is integrated directly into the lugs and features alternating brushed and polished finishes. It fastens with an invisible butterfly clasp.
