Source Ribbon

Source Ribbon is more dichotomous as it has only two moving pillars, which move at second and 24-hour velocities. “By juxtaposing the seconds, the quickest increment in quotidian timekeeping, together with the longest – night and day, you get a dreamy notion of time. Especially since these increments of time are not presented in a traditional display – instead they are hiding in plain sight. My aim with this watch is for you to start thinking about time. It may also be a good thing if your watch reminds you to slow down,” said Mr. Bouchet.

Source Ribbon also allows for a feast of luxurious materials. The case is available in gold or platinum, shimmering mother of pearl can be used for the main dial, the pillars and dials are draped with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, and next to the cones there is a fixed ribbon clad with diamonds. “With Source Ribbon the whole watch becomes a canvas for beautiful materials and metiers d’art, conceived, constructed, produced and decorated in our workshop and select Swiss partners.” (All Emmanuel Bouchet watches are 100% Swiss Made).

A rotating ring of sapphires in all colours of the rainbow set with rainbow-coloured gemstones – or customised – surrounds the main dial and serves as a reminder of the double rotor. This unidirectional ring can only move clockwise, because as Mr. Bouchet puts it: “There is never a comeback in time.”
