The True Value Lies in Quality. We understand the emotional significance of owning a complete original set—outer box, leather box, punched papers, booklets, and accessories. However, when it comes to selecting watches, quality is paramount.
While papers are often missing, the true rarity lies in finding a timepiece in exceptional condition. Buy the condition, not the box and papers. For certain brands like Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe or Longines, extracts from the archives can be ordered to verify authenticity. After all, time isn’t measured on a piece of paper.
Following the first "Anonymous" collection and the 2510-4 two-tone, silver rosé dial with applied "Breguet" numerals, the all new 2525-1 features the name "Archiwatch" only in small font for 2 distinct designs: a reworked version of the "Original" (as seen previously) and a never seen before "Explorer" version with 12, 3, 6 and 9 applied silver Arabic numbers paired with flat leaf hands. Also Two very rare editions of 10 each, Tokyo and Osaka are available.

Inspired by Italian architecture, design and lifestyle from G. Ponti to "La Scuderia Ferrari" and Gianni Agnelli, this watch is an absolute homage to what an Italian architect living in 1960s in Milan would have worn.
