The new Formex Essence & Leggera: Freaking sexy!

Formex Swiss Made Watches introduces the Essence Splash Chronometer Limited Collection, featuring a series of vibrant dials that perfectly balance pastels and neon hues. Hand-sprayed in Formex’s own dial manufacture in the Swiss Jura mountains, they come with the collection’s distinctive horizontal lines, each CNC-machined individually.

These timepieces are available in two versions: the Essence 39 mm
Automatic Chronometer stainless steel case and the ultra-lightweight Essence 43 mm Leggera carbon and ceramic case. Both feature Formex’s patented Case Suspension for enhanced comfort and a Deployant clasp for effortless strap adjustments.

Embrace the spirit of summer with the Formex Splash collection, a unique fusion of colors, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.

Five colorful dials

The dials in this collection strike a perfect balance between the gentle allure of pastels and the exhilarating intensity of neon hues. Choose between a Sunflower Yellow, Jungle Green, Sunset Orange, Baby Blue and Lavender Purple version. Each dial boasts the Essence collection’s distinctive horizontal lines, meticulously CNC-machined into the dial base one by one.

To achieve the unique grainy and ultra-matte finish, the colors are skillfully hand-sprayed in our dial manufacture nestled in the Swiss Jura mountains.

Contrasting gun-metal finished hour markers and hands enhance legibility and make a bold statement against the vivid backdrop of the dials. At the 6 o’clock position, the date window exhibits its signature slope, flawlessly integrated with a perfectly color-matched date wheel.

Two sizes – two case materials

The new Splash collection is launched in limited production quantity in both the Essence 39 mm, Automatic Chronometer stainless steel case, and the ultra-lightweight Essence 43 mm Leggera carbon and ceramic case. Both versions are built thin and feature Formex’s patented Case Suspension, a unique system with four integrated springs that adapt to the wearer wrist movement to noticeably enhance comfort.

Formex’s patented deployant clasp enables the wearer to effortlessly and gradually adjust the leather, nylon, and rubber straps over 7 mm while wearing the watch, ensuring a comfortable fit that accommodates variations in wrist size caused by activity and climate. The highly articulated stainless steel bracelet features a fully integrated butterfly clasp with a hidden micro-extension of 4 mm. All straps can be changed without the use of any tools.

Keeping Time

Under the hood beats a Swiss Made Sellita SW-200 automatic movement ensuring both accuracy and reliability. It comes in its highest quality grade ”Chronometer”, using top of the line components only found in Chronometer-grade movements. It’s beautifully decorated with perlage on the bridges and thermally blued screws on the movement and the custom-made rotor. Each of the movements undergoes the
COSC-certification process, a meticulous 15-day rate test to ensure extraordinary levels of mechanical accuracy and precision. Only the movements who pass the stringent assessment will be certified and engraved with a unique serial number. The movements’ power reserve extends to 41 hours.

Limited to summer

Embracing the essence of the summer season, these timepieces are available only during the sun-kissed months and in a limited production run, ensuring a unique and refreshing style that captures the spirit of the season.

With their unique blend of colors, craftsmanship, and exclusivity, the Formex Splash
collection represents the perfect opportunity to embrace the beauty and vibrancy of summer in a truly exceptional timepiece.

The Formex Essence Splash Chronometer collection is now available starting at USD 1,480.00 in the 39 mm steel version and USD 1,640.00 for the 43 mm Leggera version at the Formex Online Boutique.

Formex CEO, Raphael Granito, said of the launch, …

„For this summer collection, our goal was to create dials that pop but don’t overwhelm. Working with our lacquer specialist on different hues, tints, tones, and shades, I felt that little adjustments sometimes made a surprisingly striking difference. A machined dial like this must be sprayed very skillfully in order to retain
the textured character of the dial, while still applying enough lacquer to guarantee a flawlessly colored dial base. It’s fascinating how subtle refinements in color, technique and texture can transform the overall aesthetic and evoke a sense of playfulness and vibrancy, perfectly capturing the essence of the summer
season. I believe that sometimes all you need is a little splash of color.”
