You can tell a lot about a person by the
watch they’re wearing- having one at all
already says something about them.
The Motor Skull collection of
timepieces by Romain Vollet expresses
quiet elegance and power with just
the right amount of edginess. Genuine
leather straps, stainless steel bezels and
a cleverly fit design of a skull on the faces
of each watch, define the range.
The Motor Skull 451 Blackout is just
one of the pieces whose intricacies in
the design, speaks volumes about the
level of expertise that went into this
new entrant into the league of high end
timepieces.
It has black matte genuine
calf leather and nickel hands.
The design
goes beyond aesthetics, incorporating
features such as a 21’600 alt/h
frequency, a power reserve of +36 hours
and 21 jewel movement.
The brains, heart and soul of the brand, Vollet was born in Geneva in 1979.
Judging
by his academic history, art and design
has always been a passion for him.
He
studied Applied Art in Paris, France, then
Industrial Art in England then in Italy, and
after that settled in Paris.
He collaborated
with well-known brands for many years
before moving back to Geneva in 2015 to
launch his own line of watches.
The Swiss are perhaps the most
skilled in the art of watchmaking and,
looking at his first collection, Vollet is no
exception.
His first collection shows his
personal style and vision for his brand.
His is a contemporary style that
combines the rigor of the watch
classism and the alternative energy of an
independent culture.
The elegance of the
Motor Skull collection is revealed through
a refined and sharp design, a robust
mechanism and noble material, which
give the individual pieces character and
quality.
