Awake - Jurassic Watch
"Remember the first time you saw a dinosaur..."
Since the brand was founded in 2019, Art has always been at the heart of our approach and is part of our constant desire to push back the boundaries of creativity. The Sơn Mài collection, launched in 2024, takes AWAKE's vision to a whole new level, that of Métiers d'Art, the sanctuary of craftsmanship that elevates the artisan to the rank of artist, part of a cultural heritage whose beauty and poetry we want to pass on.
AWAKE's ambition is to embody a new, bolder and more contemporary approach to craftsmanship, reinterpreting ancestral techniques to draw out their quintessence in the service of creativity.
Two Limited Series: A "T-REX" version and a "RAPTORS" version, each limited to 50 pieces, paying tribute to the two most terrifying species of this legendary Hollywood saga. Made famous by the first Jurassic Park movie, T-Rex and Velociraptors have become the most popular predators of the prehistoric era, inspiring awe and fascination even in the world’s greatest museums.
Hand made dials: Our master lacquer drew inspiration from the cinematographic irises of these prehistoric animals to create unique colors exclusively reserved for this special edition. Using techniques introduced in our Sơn Mài collection, the dials offer exceptional depth and reflections thanks to multiple layers of lacquer, natural pigments, and the shimmering effect of silver leaf. A meticulous, hand-crafted process that captures the gaze of these cruel creatures.
AWAKE lume signature: based on a complex and exclusive construction of indexes and hands, wrapped in BGW9 Super-LumiNova® , this Jurassic Watch offers a subtle play of chiaroscuro that enhances the depth and reflections of the lacquer, transforming the space between the sapphire crystal and the dial into a veritable chamber of luminous reflection for a unique visual signature.
A caseback full of details:
Each of the two versions features a completely reinterpreted movement-ring, in line with the theme of this special edition and embodying our constant attention to detail.
It is decorated with a laser-engraved "jungle" motif inspired by the tropical foliage so omnipresent in the film. The name of the Jurassic Watch project at 12 o'clock and the statement Swiss Made at 6 o'clock are engraved in a font immediately evocative of the world of the saga, while at 3 o'clock is the individual number of each watch.
At 9 o'clock on the T-REX version, the quotation ‘Spared No Expense’ is borrowed from the character of John Hammond.
At 9 o'clock on the RAPTORS version, the quote ‘Life Finds a Way’ borrowed from Dr. Ian Malcolm.
