Montres Magazine N°141: VERSION Watches Among Those Driving French Watchmaking Forward
VERSION Watches is featured in issue 141 of Montres Magazine, one of the leading references in French-speaking watchmaking media. The editorial team praises the Maison in these terms: "Together, they are driving French watchmaking forward with watches inspired by [elegant] lines [...]"
For a young independent watchmaking house, being recognized in such a publication is a significant step. It validates that the vision championed by VERSION—that of a designer Swiss Made watch, conceived at the intersection of 1960s automotive lines, Bauhaus architecture, and Charlotte Perriand's furniture design—resonates with experts and the most discerning enthusiasts.
The V01-LCC: A Watch Unlike Any Other
What Montres Magazine highlighted above all is a singular aesthetic proposition. The V01-LCC stands out with its semi-open dials revealing the movement: a calculated openwork that hints at the mechanics without overexposing them, creating a rare subtlety in independent Swiss Made watchmaking.
Three references, three characters:
- V01-LCC Rosée: white and rose steel, delicate and luminous
- V01-LCC Éclat: peach and steel, contemporary and sunny
- V01-LCC Tempête: deep blue and steel, bold and mesmerizing
Each produced in 100 numbered copies, assembled in the Swiss Jura.
