ArtyA Purity Moissanite

The independent watchmaking brand ArtyA has developed a new and unique case in Moissanite. On discovering this dazzling and lustrous stone – which originates from the heart of a meteorite crater. It is the second hardest material on earth after diamond with a hardness on the Mohs scale of 9.5, making this new watch case the most resistant ever used on the horological stage. The meticulous faceting gives the impression that the movement is floating in the heart of a perfectly cut gemstone. Each movement of the wrist reveals a different symphony of colors that are enchanting to behold.

The manufacture caliber Purity is the fruit of three years of work in a close, creative, and dynamic collaboration between ArtyA and Telos with the desire to offer a caliber that is uncompromising, reliable, and generous at the same time. Its bridges are designed to offer the finest visual harmony, with circular shapes and a layering pattern that makes the work behind this movement shine through. Like all Artya’s high complications, this new caliber has benefited from the best treatments and finishes. All the bridges are sandblasted with cast iron and then hand-beveled, a time-consuming operation that is magnificently highlighted in this skeletonized movement.
