Relaunch of Austria’s only luxury watch brand with a legacy since 1822.
Press Release – Vienna, Spring 2016
Carl Suchy & Söhne is pleased to announce the relaunch of its legendary, Austrian watch brand founded in 1822 with the limited edition wristwatch Waltz N°1.
Carl Suchy & Söhne was established in 1822 with workshops in Vienna, Prague and La Chaux de Fonds. As the leading watch manufacture of the Habsburg empire, 3 generations of the Suchy family earned the prestigious recognition of purveyor to the imperial court counting emperor Franz Joseph I and empress Elisabeth (“Sissi”) as esteemed clients.
After a creative break of almost 100 years, the watch brand Carl Suchy & Söhne is now reestablished with Viennese elegance and Swiss precision. With an exclusive edition of only 22 pieces, the Swiss-made COSC certified mechanical watch “Waltz N°1” honors the legacy of the foundation of Carl Suchy’s manufacture in 1822. Waltz N°1 is the result of an inspiring collaboration between Marc Jenni, member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, designers Reinhard Steger and Milos Ristin as well as creative director Robert Punkenhofer. The movement for Waltz N°1 is custom-made by Vaucher Fleurier Manufacture. Carl Suchy & Söhne follows a design approach inspired by Adolf Loos, the pioneering architect of Vienna around 1900. Waltz N°1 expresses a strict minimalistic aesthetic direction coupled with emotion, a deep love for the applied materials and an obsession for technological innovation. The iconic seconds hand is a reference to the Viennese Waltz and Vienna’s sense of time where the second does not count.
Now a selected group of 22 customers has the unique opportunity to own a personalized and hand-made Waltz N°1 and become part of the great legacy of Carl Suchy & Söhne. Take time for Carl Suchy & Söhne, find out more about Waltz N°1 and order on www.carlsuchy.com
