L'Héritage.
Seven pieces. One release. Cendrée — current edition.
There are releases that repeat. And there are releases that close.
L'Héritage is released when the maison has something to say — when a movement, a case form, a dial concept reaches a state that warrants a formal edition. No fixed schedule. No subscription list. Seven pieces. When they are placed, the edition is closed.
Grey at rest. Silver under light.
Smoked white gold, a technique used exclusively by three ateliers in Geneva, in which white gold sheet is subjected to a controlled carbonisation process. The surface reads grey at rest and silver under direct light. Micro-texture visible only at close range. No indices. The movement regulates itself. The collector knows the time.
Cendrée. The architecture takes precedence over the material.
Case
40mm. Yellow gold — the only piece in the Vallier range in yellow gold. Against the smoked dial and blued hands, the gold recedes. Warm, but secondary.
Hands
Two blued steel pencil hands. Nothing else. If indication is required, the hands are sufficient.
Movement
In-house regulated and decorated. Hand-wound. 72-hour reserve.
