Fifty Eight Watches launches their first collection Geneva Tribute on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter. Starting from £399 (- €460 – $550) for the early bird special, The Geneva Tribute is a Swiss-made automatic wristwatch, a blend of classic aesthetics and technical performance with an exquisite dial design.

The Geneva Tribute is an affordable range of fresh details and comes in 4 different versions, available both in date and no date version. Ideal for everyday users and collectors alike, with a contemporary size, the high polished 38 mm stainless steel 316L case, has the perfect proportions, flat enough with a thickness of 10.20mm, allowing the watch to slide underneath the wearer’s sleeve, offering great comfort and wearing experience.

Chris Tomozei, co-founder at Fifty Eight Watches explains:” We aspired to create more than a homage to an iconic watch design, we desired to create a homage to the past and present of Swiss watchmaking, so what better way of doing that other than celebrating the heart of the watchmaking, Geneva-Switzerland. Our design codes include the iconic Côtes de Genève decorations, a charming back engraving of St Pierre Cathedral in Geneva, signature sector dial, and a logo that symbolizes the undisputed reign of Swiss watchmaking”

The Geneva Tribute collection is designed and built to stand the test of time, featuring a reliable Swiss-Made caliber: Sellita SW200, stainless steel 316L case, sapphire crystal glass, and Italian leather straps. What sets this watch apart is the signature sector dial, the outer track has a matte finish, applied high polished hour indexes raised from the texture of the dial and a center section with Côtes de Genève decoration. Properly sized and proportioned faceted Alpha hour and minute hands with a distinct diamond-shaped counterweight, to preserve the overall character of the watch.

A timepiece build with increased readability in mind, the 38mm case has the perfect proportions. A flat case back with curved lugs, 10.2mm thickness and 45mm lug-to-lug width, makes it very comfortable on most wrists, allowing the watch to slide underneath the wearer’s sleeve, offering great comfort and wearing experience.

GENEVA TRIBUTE COLLECTION
Ref.5814 “Lucent White” One of the most appealing characteristics of this reference is the striking blue, nicely executed faceted Alpha hour and minute hands, and the second hand with a distinct diamond counterweight, making the innermost circle appear considered and balanced.

The star of the collection is the exotic “Kokanee Salmon”ref.5815. The dial color is spot on, the exotic kokanee-salmon and the choice of blued faceted Alpha hands takes the look of this timepiece to the next level, sure to stand out from the crowd.

Ref.5811 “Midnight Blue” has a matte finish on the outer track, applied polished hour indexes raised from the texture of the dial; the center section comes with a striking Côtes de Genève texture with a deep resonance, the boundless blue of the vast and infinite sky.

Ref.5812 “Jade Black” The 4N Rose Gold electroplated case, with a simple, yet captivating design makes this watch a true attraction. The jade black color adds a prominent touch to the texture of the dial.

ABOUT FIFTY EIGHT WATCHES

FIFTY EIGHT Watches is the result of a courageous fresh start. The notable combination of Swiss watchmaking and passion for timepieces, transformed into the realization of a new watch microbrand.

Founded by Chris, watch avid and professional with experience of more than eight years in the watchmaking industry, and Mihaela, experienced in all aspects of business development, coordinating internal operations and the company’s culture. We had the opportunity to learn and work alongside some of the world’s most established manufacturers, learning comprehensively about watches, watchmaking values and their history. Therefore, inspired by this essence of knowledge and countless conversations with watch enthusiasts we started this adventure, expressing our love for watches
