Awake Son Mai Silver Leaf Java Green Automatic – SMSLJG26AW

The AWAKE Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Java Green is a remarkable expression of traditional Vietnamese artistry and contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Its extraordinary dial is entirely handcrafted through the unprecedented combination of two centuries-old techniques: traditional Vietnamese Sơn Mài lacquerwork and silver leaf gilding. Created in collaboration with master artisans in Hanoi, each dial requires approximately 15 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, making every timepiece a truly one-of-a-kind work of art.

The Java Green dial showcases a captivating spectrum of green tones, ranging from luminous, delicate shades to deep, forest-inspired hues. Multiple layers of natural lacquer and pigments create a rich smoked-gradient effect, while the underlying silver leaf produces remarkable depth and shifting reflections as light moves across its surface. The refined 38mm stainless steel case features a polished concave bezel, gently domed sapphire crystal, and elegantly curved lugs, bringing together vintage-inspired proportions and contemporary sophistication. An exclusive Chiaroscuro luminous signature combines Super-LumiNova® BGW9 with sculpted steel hour markers and hands, providing excellent legibility and a subtle 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 enhanced by a custom tungsten rotor with contrasting decorative finishes. A sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the beautifully finished movement, while 100-meter water resistance ensures everyday versatility. Completing the presentation is a French handcrafted green nubuck leather strap, developed with Maison Bouveret, featuring a rubberized calfskin lining and an adjustable Fitwell M1 pin buckle. The AWAKE Sơn Maï Silver Leaf Java Green is a distinctive celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and horological innovation, offering an extraordinary blend of artistic expression and mechanical excellence.
