Musa “Swiss Art Men’s watches” – Baselworld 2019

by Abdon FLORES

Muse is a Swiss watch company launched in 2016. Its approach is merging watchmaking tradition with the modernity of contemporary art. Founders Pascal Robert and Frédéric Leuba, both watchmaking engineers, have created an innovative design that eliminates the traditional hands. Instead, their watches use finely crafted patterns that run at the speed of hours, minutes and seconds, generating compositions as mantras in perpetual motion.

 

 

The models use a collector movement, made from 1969 to 1982, the ETA 2776 named MU01. Several hundred of which have been recovered from a collector. Men’s collections include the Akylon, Tanoura and Kagura. Muse also makes timepieces for ladies in its Stella, Tanoura and Stella S collections, with mineral dials and mechanical movements.

Cases are made of titanium, 44 mm (men’s) size, vertical satin finished or 37 mm (women’s) size, polished, both with sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Water resistant to 50 metres (5 bar/165 ft).
