Watch brand Aventi pays homage to death with new showstopper

Aventi is a new global Maison that has a new watch – the Aventi A13-02 Ghost Tyamine™, where a precious skull – one of the most characteristic symbols of the Memento Mori representations – is executed in sapphire glass on its dial.

The skull is only 2.3 mm thick, and the sapphire crystal plate must be worked for over 500 hours to achieve this result. Moreover, the master craftsmen of Aventi have set a perfect pigeon blood-colored, IGI-certified ruby.

The watch comes in the Aventi’s signature typical case shape: a 49 mm x 44 mm super-lightweight structure in Grade 5 Titanium. And Aventi has made it even more durable with a proprietary material: Tyamine™, an amorphous carbon coating that combines elements of graphite and diamond in a proprietary blend, making the case surface even more resistant to shocks, scratches, and corrosion.

The hand-wound GT-01S caliber has Grade 5 Titanium plates and bridges, exalted by the addition of a carbon coating. It mounts a carrousel tourbillon at 6 o’clock, which also moves the second hand in its slow rotation on its axis.

With a power reserve of more than four days and accuracy (+/-4 seconds) that’s a higher level than demanded by COSC certifications, Aventi is aiming to punch well above its weight.

Thanks to its titanium frame and soft orange strap made of fluorocarbon-based polymer, the Aventi A13-02 Ghost Tyamine™ is very light on the user’s wrist.

The Aventi A13-02 Ghost is available exclusively through the Aventi website, comes with a 5-year international warranty, offers a lifetime service guarantee on the movement, and is available for CHF 14,850.
