Daniel Roth Athys Revisit  2 Comments

Published Wednesday, December 17, 2008 by Harry SK Tan |

 

About two years ago, I reported here on the gorgeous Athys Limited Edition with is intricate hand carved flowing bridges IWC Calibre 98 movement. With its white dlial and white gold case, it was a handsome timepiece on the wrist.
Since then, Daniel Roth has created a mainstream version of the watch which while handsome, the movement is nowhere close in terms of aesthetic beauty. This version I photographed at the Hour Glass, the Authorised Dealer for DR, some weeks ago, is an eye catching black dial on rose gold case. In this combination, the watch looks even more contemporary and could be used as both a dress or work watch.
But photographing this piece, it makes me regret even more how much I miss the Athys Limted Edition.
