Valbray is a relatively new brand launched in 2009. The Valbray concept is simple; their watches are designed to to hide and reveal, to combine elegance with sensuality, and to be sporty and at the same time ground-breakingly technical.
The creative duo behind Valbray is Côme de Valbray, a micro-engineering major (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and Olga Corsini, who graduated from the European Design Institute with a major in Jewellery.
Now the Valbray team has created 6 exceptional pieces, on the provoking theme of the Devil.
The two hands watch is possessed by the forces of evil, which in a quarter turn, transform it into an esoteric and diabolic chronograph.
Shaped in a titanium bloc, the timepiece takes its colour code from the forces of darkness: the black of the oblivion, the golden colour of the flames and the deep red of the boiling lava.
The bewitching force of the diaphragm leads us into an infernal dial pierced by the “V” of Valbray intertwined with the number of Satan, “666”. This fresco is dominated by a troubling and attractive she-devil, and each interacts in a specific way: the tail of the first marks the rhythm of the seconds; the next, sitting on the date, affixes the name of Valbray with the tips of her fingernails; while the third imprints the universal aphorism, ‘’Devil inside’’, with her trident.
A work of finesse and technicality, the watchmaking dexterity is accentuated with a devil trident and those of the hours and minutes timers transformed into the flames of hell.
The sensual-looking watch is highlighted by the refinement of the golden pushers and crown. Continuing the devilish theme, the tail is engraved into the lining of the strap, and a shadowy she-devil appears on the caseback of the watch.
This edition is jealously limited to 6 numbered pieces and is exclusively available in Switzerland. Unveil the demon in you.
