Ride & Drive MACCHIA

€579.00Price
With its character and originality, the new RD automatic displays the DNA of the Arpiem brand. It offers a rare complication, that of a rotating dial that allows you to shift the dial by 60° and maintain an intuitive reading of the time at the wheel – or on the handlebars – of your 4 or 2 wheels.
 This offset dial appeared in the middle of the last century, initially on pilot's watches. It was quickly proposed for models intended for racing drivers and motorcyclists, this reading offset proving to be suitable when the wrist rests on the steering wheel or on the branch of the motorcycle handlebar. Even today, this is how we call this type of watch, the "driver's watch".
 The complication proposed on the RD allows the dial to be locked on the traditional position at “12 o’clock” (REST position), or shifted (DRIVE position) by 60° to the “2 o’clock” position. This is a unique feature developed by Arpiem.

The MACCHIA pays tribute to the most beautiful of car rallies, the Tour de Corse. Around its dial, we find the names of its most emblematic special stages: La Porta, Porto-Piana, or the infamous Zerubia, scene of the fatal accident of Henri Toivonen, the Little Prince, in 1986. The 10,000 index at 10:00 is a reminder that the Tour de Corse was known as the "rally with 10,000 bends". The Moor's head placed at 6:00 completes its strong character.

AFFORDABLE QUALITY

Arpiem has developed a short design / manufacturing / distribution circuit, in order to provide the right quality at the best price.

 

The choices are always those of  affordable quality: proven and recognized Swiss or Japanese movements, the use of surgical-grade 316L steel for the cases, crystal-quality sapphire glass with anti-reflection treatment, DLC treatment ( Diamond Like Carbon) for black cases rather than the less resistant PVD treatment, the use of stainless steel deployment buckles for the straps, original and rewarding packaging.

RARE WATCHES

All Arpiem watches are produced in numbered limited series. These are watches that are and will remain rare. To own an Arpiem is to stand out, not to wear everyone's watch. But being all numbered, yours is and will remain unique.

WATCHES THAT TELL STORIES AND CARRY EMOTIONS

Arpiem watches are distinctive through their color combinations and graphic details. Each model refers to a place, a man or a significant event in the world of motorsports dear to Vincent Repoux, the creator of the brand. As a race fan, his emotions are mainly linked to sounds, shapes, smells and colors, making him a follower of the romantic period of the competitions of the 60s and 70s. He expresses and transmits his emotions in his creations .
