Baselworld 2014: BOLT-68, Designed for Impact

Baselworld 2014: BOLT-68, Designed for Impact

BOLT-68 has a surprising and resolutely innovative design and concept. The entire collection is based on quality Swiss movements. It continues the tradition established by the 1968 collection, launched at Basel, Switzerland in 2013 and is easily recognisable by the positioning of the crown and pushers at 12 o'clock (for chronographs).

The watch's case can pivot and slide back, so that it can either be slipped into a pocket, attached to a fashionable chain, or used as a timepiece in many other ways. The BOLT-68 collection currently includes 25 models available either on Automatic Chronograph (Concepto 99001), Quartz Chronograph (Ronda 3540D) or 3 Hands GMT quartz (Ronda 515.24D). All models are in high-quality stainless steel and available in a wide range of colours. Two limited Automatic Chronographs “SKULL” and “FALCON” set a distinctive touch to the entire collection.

Swiss made, strong, distinguished and unconventional, the collection reinterprets and completely overturns classic watchmaking rules to create unusual timepieces. More than a watch, BOLT-68 confirms the brand’s intention and ability to reinvent the image in this industry. Through its quality and the particular attention given to every detail, the collection takes the wrist watch to a new level opening up new horizons for its trend-setting wearer.
