Singer Reimagined - Caballero
“With the Caballero, we wanted to create a watch that captures the essence of a true gentleman – elegant, refined, and quietly confident. The design draws on our heritage, but every line and proportion has been reimagined to express modernity without sacrificing timelessness…”
- Marco Borraccino
Singer, the independent watchmaking atelier renowned for pushing the boundaries of design and innovation, proudly unveils Caballero — its newest collection and the first to house the brand’s fully proprietary movement: Calibre-4 Solotempo.
Named after the Spanish word for “gentleman,” the Caballero represents a new chapter in Singer’s horological journey – one defined by elegance, precision, and radical restraint.
Its case, composed of three distinct parts, achieves a silhouette of striking slimness. The slender central section, with its taut, flowing lines, holds the architecture together with quiet strength.
Above it, a perfectly integrated domed crystal softens the profile, adding an arc of elegance to the watch’s confident stance. Every surface is deliberate – a circular pattern radiating across the upper case, a brushed midsection that draws the eye along its length, and mirror-polished chamfers that catch light like a subtle flash of insight. The interplay of these textures is pure Singer.
The dial offers an expansive stage for the artistry of hand-painted multi-layers lacquer, a process as complex as it is rewarding. Beneath the gloss, openworked apertures reveal the four barrels’ rubies of the Calibre-4, each perfectly chamfered and positioned like quiet signals to those who understand. Around them, familiar signatures: a golden flange, the polished Singer logo, and the proportion and clarity that define our design language.
Completing the composition, the strap manufactured in supple, high-grade leather or textile ensures comfort that is both tactile and enduring. Like the watch itself, it is built to last but also to move – gracefully and with purpose.
Developed over several years, the architecture of Calibre-4 was conceived with a singular purpose: to achieve exceptional stability in timekeeping through a constant and linear energy output.
At the heart of this achievement lies its most distinctive feature – a twin set of double barrels, working in parallel. This unique four-barrel configuration ensures that torque remains flat and consistent across the entire six-day power reserve, minimizing amplitude drops and maintaining peak chronometric performance from the first minute to the last.
