There's a remarkable partnership creating ripples in the field of horology as Argon, which has just stepped into the world of luxury watches, has been founded by Theo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet. The former is a renowned artisan of watches, while the latter brings innovation to the table; the intriguingly named product takes its essence from the time when people journeyed through outer space in the 1960s.
Their commencement masterpiece - the Spaceone watch, distinctly portrays this galactic effect with its innovative use of forged carbon along with other premium materials such as stainless steel and titanium in crafting the timepiece's 42mm futuristic case design, making it appear like an agile rocketship. The watch exhibits time on a one-of-a-kind jumping wheel while incorporating a cockpit crafted from sapphire to elevate its sophistication. This piece beats a Swiss-made P024 SOPROD automatic movement. This high-precision mechanism with an impressive reserve of 38 hours demonstrates the brand's relentless commitment to excellence.
The transparency of the case back enables you to admire the watch's meticulously crafted movement and adds to its allure; for both style and comfort of this luxurious piece are the expertly designed black or orange rubber straps that complete it. Argon's Spaceone Watch created quite a buzz when it was first introduced on Kickstarter and gained widespread popularity. The brand hit its funding target in merely three hours and thanks to the burgeoning excitement around this innovative timepiece. June 10th, 2023, is when the crowdfunding campaign ends, so make sure to secure your pre-order by then.
Argon represents not just a brand but also an ideology rooted in exploration and devoted to transcending the confines of traditional watchmaking, being part of a horological revolution where timeless elegance is combined with innovation.
