resented in the entirely redesigned 38 mm case, four new dials reinterpret the “Vignette” style that emerged in the 1970s. Defined by a subtle color gradient transitioning from darker tones around the dial’s perimeter to lighter shades at its centre, this distinctive aesthetic takes on a new dimension.

More refined, more intense and more accomplished than ever, these dials resemble miniature paintings, alive with vibrant, deep and ever-changing hues, radiating their own distinctive energy and character:

• “Purple Viola”: Enigmatic and almost otherworldly, this mesmerizing, unclassifiable dial strikes a delicate balance between provocation and sophistication.

• “Indian Red”: Like an ember smoldering beneath the ashes, this dial radiates a deep, enveloping warmth, as though naturally patinated by time, centuries of sunlight and history.

• “Java Green”: Organic, rich and full of life, evoking the abundance of lush vegetation, this dial reveals an endless spectrum of colors as the light shifts.

• “Gentian Blue”: Somewhere between azure and royal blue, this dial’s soothing depth evokes a profound sense of serenity.

Each dial is a unique creation, requiring more than ten hours of meticulous craftsmanship to carefully apply delicate sheets of pure silver leaf before covering them with approximately twelve layers of lacquer colored with natural pigments, each individually sanded and polished.

Inherently rare, production is necessarily limited: approximately one hundred pieces per year, per model, will leave the workshop for Indian Red, Java Green and Gentian Blue, the three references joining the permanent collection. Only 200 pieces of Purple Viola will be produced as a limited edition.

In just a few years, Awake has won over collectors around the world through a distinctive approach that brings together creativity, traditional watchmaking and the Métiers d’Art, with an exceptional level of attention to detail and quality rarely encountered at this price point.

Beyond their unique dials, the Sơn Mài - Silver Leaf watches are powered by the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 calibre, offering a 68-hour power reserve. The movement features a high standard of finishing, combining polished, brushed and micro-blasted surfaces, alongside a newly designed oscillating weight machined from a solid block of tungsten.

Surrounding the movement is a completely redesigned ring engraved with Awake’s mission: “Illuminating the hands and heritage behind rare crafts” alongside the brand’s guiding philosophy: “Artisanship, Awakened”.

The straps are handcrafted in France by Maisons Jean Rousseau and Bouveret. Each features a Fitwell M1 micro-adjustable pin buckle and a quick-release system. Crafted from Alcantara or nubuck and lined with rubberized calfskin, they are designed for everyday wear and will develop a beautiful patina over time. Available in green, grey, blue or red, they complement the watches to create a sophisticated yet technical ensemble, conceived for the most discerning enthusiasts. All for €2,640.
