Swiss watchmaking needs no introduction. Nor is it necessary for Armand Nicolet watches, which demonstrate an incredibly responsible attitude towards their richest heritage and an endless search for modern forms of its embodiment. This time around, the Swiss brand pays homage to retro aesthetics and time-honored designs.
Our opinion is that the Armand Nicolet VS1 watch will appeal not only to lovers of vintage mood, but also to those who strive for freedom of expression or simply want to refresh their watch wardrobe with bright colors on the eve of the onset of spring.
Given the design and specifications, the best candidate is hard to find! We invite you to take a look!
Content content
Perhaps, let's start with the technical characteristics and internal content. As befits a Swiss watch, the VS1 series models meet the highest quality standards and boast impeccable craftsmanship. The quest for excellence is reflected in increased durability, with a 316L steel case with acrylic inlays protecting the sapphire crystal. The 100 WR water resistance, as well as luminescent hands and markers, provide absolute control over the time in any conditions (including extremely low light conditions).
Another important feature of the new series is the self-winding mechanical caliber AN 200 (based on the SW-200) with a power reserve of 38 hours. A date window with a magnifying glass acts as a functional complication.
vintage sound
The visual appeal of the watch is determined by the striking contrast of colorful accents (in particular, orange indexes) against the deep hues of the dial with a smoky gradient. Products in emerald green and crimson-scarlet colors are especially brightly broadcasting retro aesthetics, which, however, in no way affects their universal character and virtuosic ability to adapt to any style preferences.
Surprisingly, the watch really seems to be an appropriate addition to modern everyday style with an emphasis on expressive individuality. A bonus is a noble Swiss origin, which will always be relevant!
Decisive details
The detail that matters. The watches of the VS1 collection are presented in three versions (on a leather strap, on a fabric strap and on a steel bracelet), which emphasize the distinctive features of the product.
As a prime example: the model on a leather strap has a pronounced vintage sound, the version on a fabric strap conveys practicality and functionality, and the watch on a steel bracelet emphasizes timeless relevance.
