Arcadia AC01

SWISSTIME CONTENT

For Claude Sanz, President of Bunter and a fervent watchmaking devotee, the AC01 is a dream come true. Eager to revive the reputation of Arcadia, the star brand of the equally famous Fleurier Watch Co. brand, he has revisited a 1950s models and sublimated the existing tradition. In this first 275-piece limited edition, contemporary aesthetics rubs shoulders with historical codes. Avant-garde materials, visible screws, hidden pushbuttons and a multi-layer dial blend harmoniously with the original rounded curves incorporated within a cushion-shaped case. This original approach extends to the entire set of data regarding the model (guarantee, after-sales service documents) delivered to the customer on a USB stick and activated online at the time of purchase.
