Awake Son Mai Silver Leaf Indian Red Automatic – SMSLIR26AW

The AWAKE Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Indian Red is a remarkable celebration 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 Indian Red dial reveals a rich, mesmerizing blend of deep reds, warm browns, and subtle ochre undertones, with layers of natural lacquer allowing glimpses of the silver leaf beneath. Its captivating depth and shifting reflections create an extraordinary visual effect 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, providing excellent legibility and a distinctive glow in darkness. 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 red Alcantara strap by Jean Rousseau, featuring colored stitching, a rubberized calfskin lining, and curved spring bars for an exceptional fit. The innovative Fitwell Micro-Adjust pin buckle allows precise 3mm adjustments throughout the day for personalized comfort. The AWAKE Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Indian Red is an exceptional fusion of cultural heritage, artisanal craftsmanship, and modern horology, offering a distinctive timepiece for those who appreciate watches with genuine artistic character.
