The Biver brand has debuted the Biver Automatique, a three-hand, automatic watch meant for daily wear. Combining influences from the past with a distinctly 21st-century look, it establishes a foundation on which future watches and complications can be built. The solid 18k white and rose gold dials are each housed in a case made of the corresponding colour metal and each features an array of hand-applied finishes, suggesting a two-tone finish. This is further emphasised by the applied 18k gold markers and matching hands, the applied and black-polished “Biver” signature at 12 o’clock, and the applied 18k gold railroad track around the perimeter. All of this is housed in a platinum or rose gold case measuring a classic 39mm across and just 10mm thick and can be worn on a leather strap or the signature five-link Biver bracelet. Its new Calibre JCB-003 was developed in close collaboration with partners at Dubois Depraz and features an automatic winding system that utilises a 22k gold micro-rotor and allows for hand-winding via the crown as well, with a 65-hour power reserve.
