Introducing the Circula Facet (€1990), the latest offering from Circula that takes their craftsmanship to a whole new level. This 38mm steel sports watch is a true representation of modern design and technical sophistication, combining form and function in a timepiece that is as bold as it is versatile. The Facet is a go-anywhere-do-anything (GADA) watch with an extraordinary look, designed to be a reliable companion for all of life’s adventures while remaining effortlessly stylish.
The Facet’s name is inspired by the intersecting linear surfaces that give it a distinctive and captivating appearance. With its multifaceted design, the watch plays with light in remarkable ways, catching and reflecting it from every angle. The case, hands, hour markers, and bracelet are all meticulously faceted, creating a visually complex piece that stands out from the crowd. The 38mm case dispenses with curved surfaces, opting for defined linear angles that emphasize the watch’s contemporary aesthetic. Yet, there is a subtle curve from horn to horn when viewed from the side, ensuring that the Facet remains comfortable on the wrist. The crown is equally striking, featuring a stylized gear wheel design inspired by the new Circula logo.
One of the most remarkable features of the Facet is its bezel, which boasts two conical, intersecting surfaces and a step down to the case. This combination creates a dynamic, three-dimensional effect that adds to the watch’s allure. The intricate design continues to the integrated high-quality steel bracelet, with complex geometric shapes that catch the light and create an array of fascinating reflections. The overall result is a watch that looks different from every perspective, offering a fresh visual experience with each glance.
The dial of the Circula Facet is an absolute masterpiece, filled with a thousand captivating details. The minute ring, slightly offset from the main dial, gives it an almost floating character. The dial itself features a sea of concentrically arranged circles made up of thousands of faceted teeth, reminiscent of clockwork gears. This unique three-dimensional design brings the dial to life, creating an effect that resembles waves moving from the centre to the edge. The faceted indexes and hexagonal hands further emphasize the watch’s multidimensional design, while the numerals provide excellent readability and complement the sophisticated aesthetics.
Powering the Circula Facet is the Swiss-made G100 automatic movement from the La Joux-Perret manufacture. This high-quality movement offers an impressive power reserve of 68 hours, ensuring precision and reliability throughout. The movement is adorned with a decorated palladium-coated tungsten rotor, which perfectly matches the outstanding aesthetics of the watch. It’s a movement designed to match the meticulous attention to detail that defines every aspect of the Facet.
The Circula Facet is more than just a timepiece—it’s a statement of precision, craftsmanship, and modern design. With its striking geometry, impeccable detailing, and high-performance movement, it is a watch that embodies sophistication and elegance in every facet. Whether worn during a day at the office or on a weekend adventure, the Circula Facet is designed to impress and deliver, making it a must-have addition to any watch enthusiast’s collection.
