WALTZ N°1
A DIAL THAT WALTZES
Inspired by the radical clarity of Viennese Modernism, the Waltz N°1 reduces the traditional dress watch to pure lines and proportions. At six o’clock, its rotating seconds disc completes the dial pattern once every minute - a subtle choreography that gives the watch its name and character. Its ultra-thin automatic movement, developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, brings high watchmaking precision to this distinctly Viennese expression of time.
THE DIAL THAT WALTZES
The dial of the Waltz N°1 features a geometric pattern, which is divided in half by vertical and horizontal striping. The rotating small seconds indicator, in the shape of a waltzing disc at six o’clock, is cut out of the striping and is thus aligned with the rest of the dial once per minute as it waltzes in a perfect circle. It’s a tribute to the dancing rhythm of the Viennese Waltz – and to the Viennese savoir-vivre, where not every second counts.
Through the sapphire case back, the ultra-thin automatic movement handcrafted in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier reveals itself in full. Its Côtes de Soleil finishing and hand-polished angles speak to the exacting standards of Swiss high-end watchmaking. The decentralised gold-plated micro-rotor keeps the profile elegantly slim. Running at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it offers 48 hours of power reserve.
DETAILS
MOVEMENT
The Waltz N°1 houses an ultra-thin automatic movement, developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. Its decentralised gold-plated tungsten micro-rotor keeps the profile elegantly slim while delivering a 48-hour power reserve.
CASE
The 41.5mm stainless steel case is closed by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal case back, offering an unobstructed view of the movement within.
DIAL
The dial is divided by precise vertical and horizontal lines. At every full minute, the rotating seconds disc at 6 o'clock aligns perfectly with the pattern. The applied hour and minute hands are set into the dial itself, curved gently upward to follow the slope of the rehaut.
STRAP AND BUCKLE
The silk-matte black leather strap, finished with black stitching, features an inner pattern inspired by Adolf Loos. The push-button folding clasp plays on the contrast between matte and polished surfaces and is adorned with the historical Griffon-badge of Carl Suchy & Söhne.
Stainless Steel Case
Silver/Black Dial
The Waltz N°1 Ornament Edition does not follow a decorative motif. Its dial is based on a geometric grid of concentric lines. The numerals 12, 3, 6 and 9 are not applied elements but integral components of this structure. The rotating Waltzing Disc at six o’clock completes the linear composition once every minute.
Slender black hands integrate seamlessly into the composition without disrupting its graphic clarity. The ultra thin Calibre CSS-A1, with its geometrically skeletonised bridges, mirrors the dial. Construction becomes a continuous principle.
