According to legend, Cyrus the Great was abandoned by his grandfather in a forest and adopted by a wolf, from which he inherited his mental and physical strength. Launched in the 1st year of the 2nd decade of the 3rd millennium, the niche brand that always does things its own way once again surprises the watch collectors with the Kambys collection, featuring a secret animation. The name of the collection is inspired by the name of “Cambyses” which was the name of Cyrus The Great’s son and successor.

The design of the Kambys was developed in perfect synergy with the brand’s identity, which places great emphasis on attention to detail. Available in titanium and black /red gold DLC titanium, it is recognizable as a Cyrus from first glance : it has a sleek design, where each element has been carefully weighed up and designed by their own team. A patented design, which perfectly moulds the shape of the wrist. This collection is the fruit of the partnership between the two founders, Julien and Laurent Lecamp. The distinctive mark of the two cousins can be found discreetly inscribed on the back of the calibre. Four digits, 7778 are etched, recalling the cousins’ two birth dates. The selection of functions, the design features and the unusual bracelet were all created and developed within the family, with the utmost respect for the Cyrus philosophy. The 100% in-house manufacture movement with a seven-day power reserve was created under the aegis of renowned, awardwinning Swiss watchmaker Jean-François Mojon. Highlighting the classic character of this new timepiece, Cyrus offers elegant functions (hours, minutes, seconds, power reserve) and a unique, secret animation, all brought to life by a spectacular movement which is fully visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case.
