Today we present deLaCour's "Red Dots"
deLaCour
deLaCour was born out of a passion for avant-garde design and craftmanship and released their first collection in 2003. The bold, sleek lines instantly found success with watch lovers.At the heart of the initial collection was the Bichrono, the first timepiece in history to possess a double automatic chronograph and was a conceptual development by Pierre Koukjian. Five months after the unveiling, the Bichrono was selected as a finalist in the Grand Prix de Geneve and in 2004 went on to win the Unique Design Watch of the Year Award in Tokyo.
As with the art and fashion markets, that of watches can be heavily saturated with trends that many brands try to set, follow or at least adhere to. deLaCour aims towards a niche clientele who value individuality over all. The company's slogan is "Since Tomorrow" and claim that is defines their conception and creativity and due to constant innovation, that the history of the brand is written in the future.
The following video showcases the deLaCour 'Birepetition' model.
"In an age when electricity was unknown and luminous hands were not yet invented,
it was useful to hear the time instead of searching in the dark. The minute repeater is a
complex and entirely mechanical system which strikes only on demand, the hours, quarters
and minutes indicated by the hands".
