This is one of those watches that you have to see up close to appreciate. I only got a few minutes with it last night, but I’ll admit that it really impresses. This isn’t the first sapphire-cased watches we’ve seen over the last few years – hat tips to Hublot and Greubel Forsey here in particular – but it is one of the more interesting. Many sapphire-focused watches either opt for maximum transparency, a la that Hublot, or simply wrap an existing caliber and dial in the material, a la that GF), but the Quasar instead goes for contrast. The lightness of the case (both physical and visual) juxtaposes nicely with the matte black titanium bridges of the movement, which you can appreciate on a whole new level now that you can see all the way through them and better understand the way they create the caliber’s fundamental structure. My only real complaint here? Legibility. With all the negative space and the openworked hands, telling the time can be a bit of a pain. I know that’s like complaining that visibility isn’t great out the back of your supercar, but such is the world of haute horology these days.
