Ace Jewelers is proud to present Awake Concept exclusively in the Netherlands. AWAKE is a French watch brand that combines French creativity, Swiss watchmaking excellence, and Vietnamese ancestral art to offer timepieces with an unrivaled value proposition.
To celebrate our Awake's 5th anniversary at Ace Jewelers we are delighted to present our their permanent Swiss made and Métiers d'Art collection: SƠN MÀI.
This new stage in the AWAKE watchmaking journey is a world first, combining two Métiers d'Art with luminescent innovation and a Swiss movement...
French creativity, Swiss watchmaking excellence and Vietnamese ancestral art combine to offer you the quintessence of traditional art and contemporary watchmaking, with an unrivalled value proposition.
SƠN MÀI takes AWAKE's vision to a whole new level: that of Métiers d'Art, the sanctuary of handwork that elevates the craftsman to the rank of artist and constitutes a cultural heritage whose beauty and poetry we wish to pass on to you. For the first time in the history of watchmaking, two art crafts - Sơn Mài, Vietnamese sanded lacquer, and gilding with pure silver leaf - come together to create unique dials that will connect you to the magic of workshops, to the beauty of techniques and to the rarity of know-how handed down from generation to generation. The dials in the SƠN MÀI collection are unique and carry the emotion of the hand that created them. Conceived and crafted as a work of art in its own right, each dial requires between 10 and 15 hours of handwork and concentration.
The intense red of this dial is both powerful and vibrant, offering warm reflections that stir dynamic emotions. Symbolizing strength, energy, and passion, its vibrant red sparks enthusiasm and will scarcely risk going unnoticed.
