To mark the 240th anniversary of Antonín Mánes’s birth, our team of designers created a watch that celebrates the aesthetics of his era. The entire collection emphasizes a simple, classic, and timeless look, using natural tones in the dial’s finish—color shades found directly in Mánes’s work. The design evokes the charm of bygone times—from the brushed dial and gilded accents to the elegant leaf-shaped hands polished to a high gloss, and the rounded, flawlessly polished bezel.

Other standout features include a sculpted dial edge with vertical linear brushing and applied indices in a polished gold finish. Also noteworthy is the finely crafted second hand, which follows the curvature of the dial at its tip. The case has been specially modified for this model and is made of 316L stainless steel with a water resistance of 5 ATM, combining both polished and brushed elements. The watch is fitted with a slightly domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

The watch is powered by the Japanese Miyota 9039 movement. This is an automatic caliber with manual winding capability, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a power reserve of up to 42 hours. The movement contains a total of 21 jewels that reduce friction and wear—standard for automatic movements in this category. The Miyota 9039 is designed without a date function, meaning the dial does not feature a date window, which complements the minimalist design of the watch. Its accuracy typically ranges from -20 to +40 seconds per day. Renowned for its durability and reliability, the Miyota 9039 is an ideal choice for everyday wear, and thanks to its wide availability and serviceability, maintenance is relatively straightforward.

Special attention is also deserved by the case back of the watch, which has been designed in an unconventional way for this model by featuring an application of one of Antonín Mánes’ landscape paintings, titled Landscape in a Storm.

This painting is considered one of his key works, capturing the power and drama of nature in the spirit of Romanticism. It portrays a landscape just before or during a storm, evoking a strong atmosphere supported by dark, stormy clouds, fierce winds, and an unsettling mood. The scene carries a melancholic tone, typical of Romanticism, where nature is depicted as a dominant and powerful force—eliciting both awe and fear.

The use of dark, saturated colors creates a striking contrast between light and shadow, intensifying the tension of the approaching storm. The figure of a farmer appears small in comparison to the overwhelming might of nature surrounding him. This element in Mánes’ work serves as a scale to express the grandeur of natural forces while adding a narrative layer that highlights the human response to nature’s power—fear, reverence, or insignificance in the face of the storm.
