Description
Pöhlmann-Bresan Prestige Night Grey Ltd Ed
Hidden gems and ‘the next big thing’ are a rarity in any industry but watchmaking duo Lukas Pöhlmann and Josef Bresen could fit the bill. This dynamic, future-focused team have joined forces to create an elegant, functional, and expertly crafted collection to launch their independent brand, Pöhlmann-Bresan. Applying their years of training and apprenticeships at some very well-known brands like Wempe and Lang & Heyne, this team has created their own calibre, housed in an elegant case, designed to appeal across generations.
Without a doubt, the hero of this model is the in-house JU26-01 manual calibre with an escapement that features golden eccentric gears and Breguet hairspring, a panoramic balance wheel and balance cock, double-sunburst finissage on the ratchet wheel and hand polished and set surfaces and jewels – all visible via the generous exhibition, crystal case back.
In terms of dial presentation, Prestige is the first collection for this ‘up and coming’ brand and is defined by its understanded elegance. Open dials, polished, geometric indices, sword-shaped hands and a crisply defined second track on the outer dial afford the Prestige a classic design aesthetic which is complemented by a perfectly rounded case and softly tapered lugs.
The Night Grey model will appeal to purists who seek balance, performance, reliability and classic design. This piece is designed to be worn on a daily basis but can hold its own at more formal occasions as well.
Now is a great time to get on board as the Pöhlmann-Bresan wave gathers momentum.
