Artisan Gold Schwarz

A piece of breathtaking beauty, the HerzWerk Artisan Gold Schwarz watch brings together timeless styling, centuries-old hand-crafting techniques and contemporary Independent Watchmaking finesse. Boasting a dial of profound visual depth whose black surface is enhanced by a hand-guilloché centre, with baguette-cut diamonds shimmering at each hour, the watch is presented in a perfectly proportioned 39mm sculpted case manufactured from 22ct gold. The twin barrel arrangement of the manual winding calibre enables a generous 7 day power reserve, and the prestige of the watch is elevated by both the superior level of traditional Haute Horlogerie finishing of the calibre, and also by the exceptional aesthetic design codes of the case and dial.

A recent addition to the Independent Watchmaking sector, HerzWerk timepieces have already gained interest from connoisseurs of fine watchmaking who appreciate the myriad of nuances and fine details that are a signature features of their exclusive portfolio. Uniquely styled, the 22ct gold case of the HerzWerk Artisan Gold Schwarz has a stunning architecture with sculpted and hollowed sides flowing to a polished and rounded bezel. Sized at 39mm with a height of 7.5mm it has a contemporary yet elegant presence on the wrist and is finished with a grooved and engraved crown.

Contrasting superbly with the golden case, the black surface of the dial is brimming with texture and depth. From the centre, the hand-guilloché section leads towards a matte chapter ring where twelve baguette-cut diamonds (3.6ct) serve to mark the hours. Partially openworked, the hour and minutes hands are enhanced with luminescence, and are accompanied by an elongated seconds hand with a HerzWerk overhang which stretches out to a traditional railtrack scale, while a minutes track at the perimeter flows upwards towards the bezel.

Aficionados of fine finishing will appreciate the significant level of traditional Haute Horlogerie detailing devoted to the manual winding movement of the Artisan Gold Schwarz watch. In addition to the immaculate finishing which is achieved using old-school techniques, the calibre which beats at a rate of 21’600 vib/h has a twin-barrel arrangement which enables a 7 day power reserve, and should the client request bespoke decoration to the movement this can be arranged at the time of purchase.

A superb example of contemporary Haute Horlogerie, the HerzWerk Artisan Gold Schwarz watch is worn on a black leather strap, secured with a pin buckle.
