Press Release

KLEPCYS COLLECTION
The incredible Babylon, the intellectual and scientific capital, ruled the world. The city of
innumerable material and spiritual treasures also boasted magnificent architecture. But despite its
reputable invincibility, the city was conquered. It was subdued by Cyrus the Great who succumbed
to the enchanting city, the memory of which still excites our imagination. The Klepcys collection
opens the door for you... An imposing case with a diameter of 48mm (including the crowns) boasts
four walls in the shape of horns with high quality finish, and encompasses the main watch
mechanism. The slanting lugs for a black crocodile leather strap fit the wrist perfectly. The visible
screws remind one of the three-part Cyrus brand logo. The retrograde hand moves along the 180°
axis and changes colour (while rotating across the 180 degrees) depending on the time of day (day
or night). Regardless of the hand’s position, minutes and seconds discs are always aligned and
accurate during the linear reading of time. This patented alignment is based on a one-of-a-kind
mechanism which controls the speed of the (retrograde and rotating) hours, minutes, and seconds
wheels. As far as the date display is concerned the units digits (from 0 to 9) rest one on top of the
other, while the tens digits change before the units digits. Once the tens digit reaches the figure 9,
the figure moves in retrograde manner and rotates by 90 degrees. It simultaneously makes the a
way for the space for the next tens digit which is placed before the units digit 0. Finally, the tribute
to the famous Tower of Babel, "which towered to the heavens", takes the form of a full moon with
realistic crater images which links the watch to the sky. The lunar phases are represented by a
black patch which gradually covers the full moon. When the moon is fully covered, the threesection Cyrus brand logo becomes visible. Time eventually conquers the waning moon. Three
exceptional functions were developed in cooperation with Jean-François Mojon, the renowned
developer who received the Best Watchmaker award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie in Geneva.
