Young watchmaking house Springer & Fersen has unveiled the film of its first creation, the Rangiroa World Diver \u2013 exclusively for SoBARNES. A diver's watch with a fine pedigree, both innovative in design and classic in its attributes.<\/h4>\n

If the passion for watchmaking can move mountains, it can also bring the oceans closer together. Let's then salute the tenacity of Parisian perfumer Axel Grivory, who has succeeded against both pandemic and high water in creating and launching the brand of his dreams, Springer & Fersen. Nothing in his past destined him to embark on such an adventure. Nothing that is, except the desire of this diving enthusiast to see the ideal watch materialise before his eyes. He named it Rangiroa, after a Tahitian atoll famous for its clear waters and marine life.<\/p>\n

To design the Rangiroa World Diver, Grivory says he was inspired by the silhouette of manta rays, one of which is engraved in brushed steel on the back of its 44 mm-case. This is an imposing, if not muscular watch, water-resistant to 300 metres, perfectly legible even at depths and equipped with an excellent Swiss automatic movement. Full marks for the ultra-simple display of a second time zone, adjustable with a screw-down crown at 10 o'clock.<\/p>\n
