Artisans de Genève is known for its astounding customized timepieces that unite storytelling, artisanal craftsmanship while respecting the history of watch Maisons. The latest project to be unveiled by the Swiss workshop is the “Heart of Namibia,” an elegant piece reimagined from a perfect replica Rolex Submariner 116610.
Lending its name from Namibia in South Africa, the dial of top quality fake Rolex is crafted from a real meteorite stone that was found in its namesake region. Not only has it been cut and refined to merely 0.3mm in thickness, but the material also has to undergo a chemical treatment for its natural patterns and striations to be revealed.
This is matched with an in-house moon phase display starring a midnight blue aventurine sky and mother-of-pearl moon. Composed of 28 components, this complication is developed, manufactured, decorated and finished by hand at Artisans de Genève.
A new Swiss movement replica Rolex‘s Dark Night Blue ceramic bezel insert is fitted to complement its new color schemes, while parts of the watchcase are laser-engraved with a grainy effect. Its original 3135 Rolex movement is kept but is fitted with a customized rotor made of white gold and paired with a matching meteorite insert.
Take a closer look at the bespoke time-teller in the gallery above. For the “Heart of Namibia” aaa quality fake Rolex Submariner, the entire project costs 34,520 CHF (approx. $38,561 USD) to complete. Every case by Artisans de Genève is uniquely priced depending on the nature of the customization. For more details, visit Artisans de Genève’s official website.
