With a pristine dial aesthetic the Horage Autark T5 Swiss Pearl watch introduces a new level of purity to the portfolio of this youthful independent watchmaking company. Already acclaimed for their minimalist styling, complex case construction and superb in-house calibres, this piece has a sporty yet refined personality and an immaculate dial arrangement.
At 39mm in diameter and just over 10mm tall the case of the Autark T5 Swiss Pearl has a complex architecture and its profile is accentuated by a combination of contrasting finishes. Manufactured from hardened Grade 5 titanium, it is both lightweight and durable and its water resistance of 100m emphasises the sporty style codes of the piece.
With a flat sapphire crystal of extraordinary clarity, a seemingly uninterrupted view of the Swiss Pearl dial of this model is enabled. Crafted to recall the crisp snowfall upon the landscape of the Swiss Jura it offers a supremely uncluttered surface for the arrangement of indications. On display are small seconds at the nine o’clock, a power reserve indicator at the six and a generously proportioned date window recessed at the three. Applied arabic numerals in white with luminous dot accents and luminous tipped steel hands, ensure legibility in even low light conditions, while the appliqués are sculpted and highly polished.
On the caseback, an engraving encircles a sapphire crystal though which the K1 self winding movement is displayed. Entirely designed, developed and produced in-house, the calibre features a silicon escapement and boasts an impressive 65 hours of power reserve with a signature frequency of 3.5 hz (25’200 vib/h).
Demonstrating creativity and design finesse, the Horage Autark T5 Swiss Pearl watch is in every respect a superb example of contemporary Swiss watchmaking. The piece comes presented on a grade 5 titanium bracelet with a single fold deployant clasp.
