Greek Brand Monovant Presents the new Rheon Bronze with Smoked Dials
Greek watchmaker Monovant has released the Rheon Bronze, a new timepiece featuring a textured fumé dial and a marine-grade bronze case. The design incorporates subtle Greek mythological motifs and high-quality materials like sapphire crystal and Italian leather.
Why it matters
It highlights trends in independent watchmaking, specifically the use of unique materials and minimalist design aesthetics.
In place of the lapis lazuli used on the Royal Lapis, the Rheon Bronze goes for a fine-grain textured dial available in either brown or blue fumé. There are carved indexes at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o clock, while 60 bronze accents surround the dial and double as minute indexes. These not only help with timekeeping at a glance but also visually reduce the size of the dial opening and also make it look round. Pairing well with the display are new rose gold hands filled with Super-LumiNova C3, promising good legibility once the lights go down.
