In the world of horology, where craftsmanship meets art, Monarte Watches has been a shining beacon since its inception in 2018. The name “Monarte” is a fusion of two Latin words – “mono,” meaning only or single, and “artus,” meaning art. The combination forms the essence of the brand, translating to “Pure art.” Monarte Watches stands by the slogan, “Complexity crafted elegantly simple,” a testament to their commitment to intricate details and exceptional craftsmanship presented in a beautifully simplistic manner.
Crafting Timepieces with a Story
Every component of a Monarte watch has a unique story and purpose behind its creation. The brand aspires to merge the realms of art and horology, celebrating the exceptional work of Swiss watchmakers in a traditional manner. The dials of Monarte watches are a canvas of unique patterns, meticulously hand-operated to create a masterpiece. However, the artistry doesn’t stop there; each dial conceals a hidden meaning and writing.
For instance, the Monarte Squid Green features a hand-operated guilloche dial with a water drop wave-pattern. Encircling the dial is a discreet Latin inscription, “Tempus arsque coniuctae,” translating to “Time and art combined.” This attention to detail and hidden symbolism adds a layer of depth to each Monarte timepiece.
Exploring the Depths with the Monarte Squid
On March 12th, 2024, Monarte Watches is set to unveil its newest creation, the Monarte Squid. Inspired by the mysterious and legendary sea creature, the Squid pays homage to the giant serpent-like sea-creatures, with tales dating back to ancient times and the notorious Kraken.
Monarte envisions squids as magnificent and complex creatures that have existed in the deepest parts of the oceans for centuries, embodying the unknown and unexplored aspects of the ocean. The Squid timepiece combines the rugged, desolate nature of the deep sea with pure class and orderliness, encapsulating the essence of Monarte.
