Independent Swiss watchmaking maison, Auguste Reymond, is pleased to announce the arrival of its much-anticipated new model, the "UNITY MOON EDITION." This model is scheduled to make its Japan debut on Friday, May 22, 2026, at "Time United Tokyo 2026," an exhibition of independent watch brands held in Onarimon, Tokyo. The launch is planned for July 2026. Engraving the encounter between space and humanity on the wrist. Since its founding in 1898, Auguste Reymond has been carving out time under the starry skies in Tramelan, a mountainous town in Switzerland. This maison has continuously confronted the inseparable relationship between celestial movements and precise time measurement, and as the culmination of that exploration, it now presents the "UNITY MOON EDITION" to the world. The most iconic presence of this model resides in its dial. By applying high-precision stamping to multi-layered brass material, the topography of the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) — where humanity first set foot on the moon — is reproduced with astonishing fidelity. The shadows and depth created by each crater offer a sensation as if peering closely at the lunar surface, inviting thoughts of the vastness of the cosmos every time one checks the time. Innovative Architectural Beauty ── UNITY Case The case adopts Auguste Reymond's uniquely developed "UNITY" modular structure. The main case body, composed of four independent parts, features two crescent-shaped lug parts secured by screws, creating a delicate contrast with alternating brushed and polished finishes. The four hexagonal screws that secure the bezel are finished with 5N rose gold PVD. The crown, reminiscent of a professional measuring instrument, features elaborate alternating brushed and sandblasted finishes, with the AR logo relief engraved at its apex. The sharp silhouette of the "Compass-like" hands and three-dimensional indices are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring clear legibility even in the dark. As the open-worked seconds hand rotates, the maison's logo and the infinity (∞) symbol appear alternately, quietly narrating the philosophical theme of the circulation of time. Original Automatic Movement "Caliber AR 200-1" Peeking through the sapphire crystal case back is the Swiss-made automatic caliber "AR 200-1." It boasts a 42-hour power reserve, and one can directly admire the elegant rotation of the open-worked rotor, adorned with a moon motif and the maison's logo. A date display is positioned at 6 o'clock on the dial. This is truly a timepiece characteristic of Auguste Reymond, harmonizing functional beauty with poetic sentiment. "By engraving the relief of the Sea of Tranquility on the dial, we wanted to create a clear connection between individual time and the trajectory of humanity's great exploration." — Philip W.A.
