On this second day of Watches & Wonders 2025, the ArtyA Purity Wavy HMS Mirror captured the attention of visitors and collectors alike. Combining an openworked skeleton design, a titanium case, and a world-first innovation, this watch embodies ArtyA's independent vision: pushing the boundaries of haute horlogerie while offering an unprecedented visual experience.

The 40 mm case is crafted from grade 5 titanium, a material that is both ultra-lightweight and durable, finished with a transparent DLC coating to ensure maximum scratch and shock resistance. This choice of titanium is highly deliberate, ensuring the watch is not only light on the wrist but also built to stand the test of time. The satin finish combined with mirror-polished lugs gives the watch a sophisticated texture while maintaining its avant-garde edge.

One of the most striking elements of this watch is its mirror caseback, a world first in watchmaking. This caseback reflects the mechanical movement while creating an illusion of depth that makes the mechanism appear suspended in space. This innovative concept offers the owner a unique visual experience, allowing them to observe the beauty of the movement while giving the impression that it is floating freely in an infinite space.

At the heart of the Purity Wavy HMS Mirror is the ArtyA Purity Stairway to Heaven HMS calibre, a manual-wind movement with a 72-hour

power reserve, beating at 4 Hz (28,800 vph). This calibre features hand-beveled bridges, micro-blasted wheels, and a "starified" escapement that is literally suspended right in the heart of the movement. This suspension creates a spectacular visual effect while delivering superior chronometric performance, thanks to the meticulous adjustment of the balance wheel's inertia.

The two parallel barrels ensure a stable and linear release of energy, with hand-polished parts for reduced friction, thereby optimizing the movement's efficiency. The integration of the barrels' fluid lines into the movement's structure is a demonstration of ArtyA's elegance and engineering.

The Purity Wavy HMS Mirror is not a watch for the faint-hearted. It is a statement piece, featuring a skeleton design where matte black bridges and gleaming wheels are revealed through a completely stripped-back dial. The absence of a traditional dial only serves to highlight the purity of the movement and the sophistication of its architecture.

This limited edition, available starting from CHF 25,900 (excluding VAT), appeals to haute horlogerie enthusiasts eager to own a unique timepiece. If you are a collector in search of rarity and innovation, the Purity Wavy HMS Mirror is an absolute must-have. For those who prefer sapphire or NanoSapphire versions, prices start at CHF 44,900, offering an even more exclusive alternative.

The ArtyA Purity Wavy HMS Mirror is a true visual and mechanical revolution. It represents the perfect fusion of innovation, avant-garde aesthetics, and watchmaking precision, reaffirming ArtyA's position as an independent player in the world of haute horlogerie.
