Bernhard H. Mayer, QNET’s Swiss luxury brand, is expanding its celebrated Mecanique Collection of self-winding watches with an exciting new Limited Edition Stainless Steel timepiece. Building on Mayer’s world-wide reputation for exclusive watches featuring sophisticated Swiss engineering and design, this piece adds to the collection’s bold and iconic look with its vintage aesthetics
Upon its launch in 2018, Mayer’s exclusive Mecanique collection quickly became renowned among the historic watchmaker’s selective clientele for its modern colour palette and its unique grey sunray dials featuring yellow gold indexes and rose gold hands.
The latest Stainless Steel Mecanique features limited-edition numbers printed on the elegant see-through stainless steel caseback, exposing the superior mechanics within, and revealing the iconic hand-wound mechanical movement associated with this premium collection and Bernhard H. Mayer designs.
Inspired by vintage styles that have stood the test of time, the Stainless Steel Mecanique evokes a sense of class and incorporates state-of-the-art ETA/Unitas 6497 Swiss movement. Yet what makes the new timepiece truly stand out is its circular graining, yellow gold plating, satin-brushed wheels, and 17 jewels — all visible via the see-through caseback — that have been carefully arranged. It also brandishes a more prominent watch face that fits seamlessly with the confident, sophisticated Mecanique look, making it the perfect dress watch to show off.
With a history spanning well over a century, the company prides itself in a legacy that can be traced back to 1871 when a skilled yet humble metal engraver-turned-coin maker set up shop in the jewellery and watchmaking town of Pforzheim, near the famed Black Forest of Germany.
In fact, founder Bernhard H. Mayer had such a fascination for pocket watches in particular that he would, for many years, collect, personalise, and engrave on pocket watches. This keen interest in watches would pass from generation to generation, eventually leading the family from traditional metal crafts and coins to modern luxury watchmaking.
Hence, inspired by the passion of its founder and powered by a shared sense of heritage and nostalgia, Bernhard H. Mayer recreates that sense of wonder, precision and luxury from a bygone era and gives it a place in the 21st century with this latest timepiece, along with the rest of the Mecanique collection.
Bernhard H. Mayer is part of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) that ensures all timepieces are made according to the Gold Standard of the watchmaking industry. Each watch features the “Swiss-Made” Label and is made according to FH requirements and standards, assuring the wearer that each watch is assembled carefully by a master craftsman in the Mayer workshop.
