Väan Konrad ® Excession
This beautiful gentleman's timepiece comes with a wealth of distinctive features only normally available on much more expensive watches. A superior 20 Jewel Automatic Movement encompassed in a round polished 316L Stainless Steel case with finely decorated bridges and Côtes de Genève back plate & rotor.
This wonderful watch boasts an intricate Guilloché patterned silver watch face with three sub dials and two windows displaying the Year, Month Day of the Week, Date and finally a central Dial that shows the time in 24 Hour Mode. Timekeeping accuracy is assured via the 20 Jewel Mechanical Movement which gives a very robust 40 Hour power reserve (maximum) when fully wound.
The face of the watch also is superbly revealed with full Guilloché Silver colour engraving with hour markings in High Polished Chrome. Luminous hour & minute hands partner the smooth flowing second hand that semi sweeps. The second hand, hour markings and calender sub dial pointers are also luminious. Finally the face is protected by a tough scratch resistant Mineral Crystal glass cover that will give years of protection to your precious timepiece.
This highly decorated watch is attached via an Art Deco style Lug bar to a stitched Väan Konrad tan brown croco leather strap with an engraved well engineered buckle. All this makes for a truly unique and stunning timepiece.

Glossary of terms:
Côtes de Genève - A decoration of undulating lines, like waves, frequently used to embellish superior quality movements.
Movement Jewels - (In French: empierrer) To set or push fit jewels (ruby bearings) in a watch movement.
Balance - (In French: balancier) A generally circular, moving part which oscillates on its rotational axis. It is coupled to the balance-spring which gives it the to-and-fro motion through which it divides time into strictly equal parts. Each to-and-fro movement ("tick-tock") is called an oscillation, and each oscillation comprises two vibrations.
A circular mass (rim) held by spokes. Combined with the spiral it forms the regulating organ of the watch.
Rotor - A heavy half-disc of metal which the energy produced by the movements of the arm cause to freely rotate inside the case of a self-winding watch. Its own weight returns it to a vertical position. A specific system multiplies its rotations to continually wind the mainspring.
316L stainless steel - Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316. Used extensively in surgical instrumentation this very high grade steel is commonly refered to as 'Surgical Grade Stainless Steel'.
Guilloché - is an engraving technique in which a very precise intricate repetitive patterns or design is mechanically etched into an underlying material with very fine detail. Specifically, it involves a technique of engine turning, called guilloché in French after the French engineer “Guillot”, who invented a machine “that could scratch fine patterns and designs on metallic surfaces”.
