Awake Son Mai Silver Leaf Gentian Blue Automatic – SMSLGB26AW

The AWAKE Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Gentian Blue is an exceptional expression of traditional Vietnamese artistry and contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Its entirely handcrafted dial combines two centuries-old techniques, traditional Vietnamese Sơn Mài lacquerwork and pure silver leaf gilding, brought together in watchmaking for the first time by AWAKE. Created in collaboration with master artisans, each dial requires approximately 15 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind creation. The Gentian Blue dial presents a captivating blend of azure and royal blue, glowing brilliantly at its center before gradually deepening toward the edges to create remarkable depth and dimension. Its shifting hues and subtle silver reflections produce an elegant, mesmerizing appearance that changes beautifully with the light. The refined 38mm stainless steel case features a polished concave bezel, gently domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and elegantly curved lugs, complemented by 100-meter water resistance. AWAKE's exclusive Chiaroscuro luminous signature combines Super-LumiNova® BGW9 with intricately sculpted steel hands and hour markers, delivering excellent legibility and a distinctive glow in low-light conditions. Powering the watch is the Swiss Made La Joux-Perret G101 automatic Caliber, offering an impressive 68-hour power reserve and featuring a custom tungsten rotor with contrasting decorative finishes, visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. Completing the design is a handcrafted blue Alcantara strap by Jean Rousseau, featuring refined colored stitching, a rubberized calfskin lining, and curved spring bars tailored to the 38mm case. The innovative Fitwell Micro-Adjust pin buckle provides precise 3mm adjustments for exceptional all-day comfort. The AWAKE Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Gentian Blue is a distinctive fusion of cultural heritage, artistic craftsmanship, and modern horology, making it an extraordinary choice for those who appreciate individuality and timeless design.
