Zeitwinkel 173° Saphir Bleu

Meet two of the Zeitwinkel founders in New York this week. They will be at Indies.NYC on Thursday and WatchTime New York Friday through Sunday. And they will of course bring the 173° Saphir Bleu. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

We’re very much looking forward to participating in Indies.NYC next week. See you all in New York! #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Certainly one of the most quirky models we have ever presented: the Zeitwinkel 173° Saphir with lumed hands and lumed Thai numeral date discs. We will only make a total of ten in blue and ten in smoked sapphire. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

In celebration of our first event in Bangkok at @wela_bangkok, we’re opening the order book on a special Thai version of our 39.7mm model 173° Saphir. Lumed Thai date numerals, lumed hands and only a maximum of ten each in Fumé and Bleu made. Stop by or get in touch via DM!

Zeitwinkel’s new 39.7mm model 173° Saphir Bleu. The first deliveries to customers will start soon, so make sure to secure your manufacturing slot! #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Meet Zeitwinkel in Prague on September 15th together with our friends from Infinity Watches. Get in touch with Infinity or Zeitwinkel for more details! #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

The response to our new 39.7mm sapphire dial model 173° Saphir Fumé has far exceeded our expectations. We will show it in Bangkok and Singapore in September and in New York in October, please reach out for details. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement

Our German Silver caliber ZW0102 in our model 240° with grey dial. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Zeitwinkel three-hand model 082° in the 42.5mm version – also available in 39mm. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

What a beautiful way to compliment our artisanal maillechort movements: hand guilloche made on old machines right here in the Jura for our model Zeitwinkel 248°. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Zeitwinkel 39mm model 082° (also available as model 312° with only hour and minute hands) in the Galvanic Silver dial version. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Old? Sure - but still very precise! Many of the machines we use to manufacture parts for our watches require actual manufacturing skills to operate them. Just another aspect of what we mean by “traditional watchmaking” at Zeitwinkel. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking

Many of the decorations our watchmakers apply to the Zeitwinkel inhouse calibers will never be noticed by the owners of a Zeitwinkel watch. Some are only visible if the movement is disassembled. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Zeitwinkel 39mm model 188° MAKS in the Swiss Alps. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Zeitwinkel 40.5mm model 248° with hand-guilloche galvanic silver dial. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

Elaborately decorated, even where only a watchmaker will ever see it. #swissmade #independentwatchmaking #inhousemovement #actuallywearit

The Zeitwinkel workshop houses watchmaker’s desks and machinery for making and improving parts: modern CNC where absolute precision is necessary. And well-proven machinery, often older than some of the people operating them, for those steps that benefit from artisanal skills.
