ArtyA Purity Stairway to Heaven
Purity… Behind this simple word, a revolution in watchmaking construction. Typically, the movement’s components – base, bridges, gearing, mainplate, dial, bezel, crystal, case middle – are ‘simply’ stacked.
In the case of Purity, ArtyA has turned the established order on its head. The structure of the skeletonized manufacture caliber appears to emerge from nothingness. The components interact as a puzzle of interlocking parts suspended in mid-air, functionally cohesive, anchored in the case’s metal.
