Changing cases with the Parenthèses by Tellus

November 2006


The new Parenthèses line by Tellus features a unique exchangeable watchcase made of five pieces. A sapphire glass on top, a cylindrical case body, two ‘brackets’ in stainless steel, and a full glass caseback. Wear it in stainless steel, change it to black chrome, solid gold, or simply add diamonds for a touch of elegance.

Parenthèses, meaning ‘brackets’ in French, is patented for its closing system: the water resistance of the watch is secured through pressure, which is applied by adjusting the brackets to the case body. This lateral pressure is converted to vertical pressure through the 45° angle at the edge of the lenses and inside the brackets.

The collection is available in 42 and 46 mm diameters, in stainless steel, black chrome plated and in gold. Straps are available in sand, navy blue, black, soil, bark pattern, galuchat and rubber. More designs, including materials such as ceramic and carbon fibre, will be coming out soon.

Tellus was established in 1942, in La Chaux De Fonds, Switzerland, by Albert Juillard. Historically, Tellus manufactured pocket and technical watches. The distribution of Tellus flourished to become a leading brand in the 1960’s in European countries such as Russia, Hungary and Romania as well as in Central America and the Caribbean. By the early 80’s, as the world’s watch market was turning towards Japanese brands, Tellus manufacturing gradually levelled off.

In 2005, Tellus made a ‘comeback’, launching a completely new collection of creative timepieces designed by Hovell Chenorhokian.
