Bizotico Group, India’s leading distributor of luxury timepieces, launched the exquisite watch collection Mechano by the renowned Swiss Watchmaker Roamer, bringing the very finest of Swiss craftsmanship in watchmaking to the Indian market.
With this new and original in-house movement, ROAMER OF SWITZERLAND goes back to the roots in the best sense of the word; Meyer & Stüdeli was the company’s name when they were already producing renowned movements in the best Swiss Made tradition at the beginning of the 20th century. Winding a watch by hand transcends mere functionality, becoming a cherished ritual among aficionados and collectors globally. The new MECHANO by ROAMER OF SWITZERLAND introduces a stunning men’s square watch with manual winding, poised to captivate your senses and earn its place as your preferred timepiece. This marvel of horological engineering is equipped with a robust 44-hour power reserve, ensuring meticulous timekeeping even when set aside for a day. At its heart lies the sophisticated Incabloc® shock protection system, safeguarding the movement against life’s unexpected jolts and ensuring longevity and reliability. Furthermore, the inclusion of 18 jewels within the movement not only reduces friction among the moving parts, enhancing accuracy, but also adds an element of refined luxury to the watch’s internal mechanics. The MECHANO stands as a testament to ROAMER OF SWITZERLAND’s commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde features, creating a watch that is both a functional masterpiece and a symbol of elegance.
The MECHANO is a perfect example of high-class Swiss Made functionality, paired with a classy stand-out vintage inspired design. A sophisticated soft square shape case and dial design, features a round skeleton window, allowing an engaging view into the Swiss Made mechanical hand-winding MST-23 movement signed Meyer and Stüdeli. Watching the gears at work through the glass caseback, you can especially appreciate the heart of the manual-wind MECHANO, where no rotor conceals any part of the mechanical movement.
Under a scratch-resistant anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the skeleton window of the MECHANO is set off with a dial in blue, black, green, or a striking cinnamon brown. Slender baton hour markers are doubled at the 12 o‘clock position. The five models come in an interchangeable box set with an extra strap included.
In colour-co-ordination with the model design, you will find a crocodile pattern style embossed hand-crafted Italian leather strap in black, blue, or brown. Thanks to an easy-change pushpin system, the MECHANO can change its look in no time at all, with no tools required.
