Having successfully launched the 1902 Petite Seconde and 1902 Réserve de Marche models earlier this year, Schwarz Etienne now unveils the latest addition to its product portfolio. The 1902 GMT. This model, as its name attests, harnesses more than a century of watchmaking know-how. But is expressed in a contemporary form that’s ideally suited to modern-day life.
A watch ideal for the modern-day traveller. Offered in two dial variants. Silver or blue, the new 1902 GMT is a pure expression of fine watchmaking, uniting expertise and mechanical know-how for the delectation of purists.
THE 1902 GMT: AN INTERPRETATION OF DUAL TIME
The dial gracing the 1902 GMT features an intricate arrangement of textures, levels and contrasting hues that enchantingly play with light. Lancine-style hour and minute hands, with sandblasted and polished facets, indicate the ‘local time’. A GMT hand, with a prominent tip, collaborates with Arabic numerals, allowing the wearer to easily determine the prevailing hour at home. Day or night.
A small seconds dial, with an azurage finish, is located at 6 o’clock. While a chemin de fer, incorporating small hints of red, frames the display. Although the 1902 GMT shares a familial likeness with other members of the 1902 collection, Schwarz Etienne has endowed the two new references with their own character.
This model features the ASE 320.00 automatic movement, which Schwarz Etienne designs and hand-assembles entirely in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The movement includes a micro-rotor for efficient winding. The 1902 GMT comes in a 39 mm Grade 5 titanium case.
