Nubeo Medusse Project 45 ref. NBO-MDSS-0628 – MSRP 12000€

The world of watchmaking has become vastly more interesting due to the freedom that comes with globalization and the advancement of capitalism. Nowadays, it’s much easier to establish and maintain a business as well as to produce and market a product, so what watch enthusiasts refer to as Microbrands are popping up left and right. While the bigger, better-known brands like Omega or Rolex are built on tradition and heritage, the independent watchmakers of today have none of those. What they do have however, is an abundance of enthusiasm, a knack for innovation and no interest in upholding convention. The watch on offer here hails from one such brand – Nubeo.
Its founder, Ivan Castro, is first and foremost a jeweler, and second – a watchmaker. This sentiment is deeply imbedded in the Medusse, resulting in an organic blend of unique aesthetics and excellent craftsmanship. The case has a jellyfish-like silhouette, hence the name, and is built from machined stainless steel. It’s pleasantly heavy on the wrist and feels very sturdy, with the thick bezel underlining its slightly-industrial look. It’s easy to see that the elements, textures and patterns of the dial are inspired by nature and her creations, as they are reminiscent of sea shells, fossils and various forms of marine life.
Inside is the time-proven Valjoux cal. 7750, which has had its chronograph part removed. This gives it a very tactile feel when winding by hand, reminding you of the feel of old-time vintage movements. The shape of window to the movement also draws inspiration from marine life. The condition of our offering is superb, with only a few hairpins to found. Comes on the original high-quality white leather strap with branded buckle. Ticking perfectly. Watch only.
