ALTITUDE PREMIERE
A declaration of beauty
The Premiere is where it all began for Meerson.
Inspired by the Art Deco movement as an expression of design purity, this dress watch is the heart and soul of the brand. The dial, serene in its plainness references a flight of carved stone steps in Shanghai with the date window adding a touch of drama. The ‘Premiere’ offers a final flourish to this, the inaugural collection.
COLLECTION
WARM YELLOW GOLD SERIES
Our signature solid gold with various combinations of polishing and dial colour ways. Special Orders can be taken for alternative colour options. Watches are delivered with handmade straps in a variety of leather and materials. The straps can be ordered to be made to measure. In solid gold, the Altitude is available in with a range of options - date, small second or the ‘classic’ hour and minute, as well as in two sizes - 41mm and 36mm - to fit all styles and wrists perfectly.
Below is a selection of core collection timepieces in Warm Yellow Gold:
TITANIUM SERIES
Titanium has this profound depth and tactile quality that makes it a preferred metal for Alexandre Meerson. It is lightweight and also extremely solid, and only the best craftspeople in the world are capable to create the mirror polish of the Altitude Premiere. In Titanium, the Altitude Premiere feels like a second skin and will probably be the most comfortable dress watch you will ever wear.
Below is a selection of core collection pieces.
AM-4808
The heart of the Altitude collection effortlessly delivers 56 hours of power reserve with class leading regularity and stability. Its chronometry relies on a double-barrel, rapid rotation architecture and a variable inertia balance with solid gold blocks.
The AM-4808 has been designed to slowly reveal its sophistication to its owner. Vaucher manufactures this calibre for Meerson, and its’ lineage is obvious to the eye of the connoisseur, who will admire its intricacies through the sapphire case back of the Altitude; beauty, purpose and technology must fuse perfectly to bring the watch to life and ensure it will continue beating accurately for generations.
