French independent watch brand YEMA has announced the new dress watch 'Granvelle Renaissance CMM.29', featuring its in-house micro-rotor movement.

【Product Features】

■ Slim Design with In-House Micro-Rotor Movement 'CMM.29'
Equipped with the in-house thin automatic caliber 'CMM.29', which adopts a 'micro-rotor' structure where the rotor is embedded within the movement. This achieves an astonishingly slim silhouette with a case thickness of only 9.0mm. The sapphire crystal exhibition case back allows full appreciation of the smooth movement of the high-density tungsten rotor and the beautifully finished movement.

■ Classic 37.5mm Size Defining the Modern Dress Watch
Downsized from the previous model's 39mm to a more dressy and refined 37.5mm diameter. This significantly improves fit on the wrist and smartly fits under a shirt cuff. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, with a skillful combination of satin and polished finishes that create a three-dimensional brilliance.

■ Multi-Layered Geometric Dial Reflecting Historical Aesthetics
The dial features a beautiful 4-layer structure inspired by the Renaissance architecture and geometric roof patterns of the Granvelle Palace. A small seconds sub-dial positioned at 9 o'clock creates an exquisite asymmetrical beauty. The hands and indices are coated with 'Super-LumiNova BGW9' for excellent visibility at night or in dark conditions.

■ Practicality Maximized with Approx. 70-Hour Long Power Reserve
Despite being a slim dress watch, it boasts a long power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It offers practicality suited to modern lifestyles, continuing to run from Friday night until Monday morning without stopping.
