In an exciting turn for watch enthusiasts, ArtyA—an avant-garde watchmaker founded by the visionary Yvan Arpa in 2010—has unveiled its latest creation: the Purity Wavy HMS Mirror in a sleek titanium casing. Known for its unconventional use of materials, including butterfly wings and real bullets in earlier models, the brand is shifting towards a more minimalist aesthetic with this chic new timepiece.

The Artya Purity Wavy HMS Mirror showcases a 40mm titanium case that features a unique, aerodynamic design. The case is 13mm thick and is complemented by a stunning mirror on the caseback, a first for the brand. This innovative addition not only enhances the visual depth of the watch but also cleverly conceals wrist hair—making it as practical as it is striking.

Designed by Jérémie Arpa, the son of Yvan Arpa, this model highlights a matte microbead finish paired with a transparent protective DLC coating. The mirror-polished bevel along the length of the case adds an element of sophistication, enhancing the watch's elegant curves.

At the heart of this exquisite piece lies its manual-winding movement, co-developed with the esteemed movement specialist Telos in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This architectural marvel features an openworked design, with two parallel barrels surrounding the crown and a unique suspended 4Hz escapement known as the "Stairway to Heaven". The escapement is elegantly supported by a bridge comprising three meticulously hand-bevelled, arced tiers. The twin barrels not only offer insight into the winding state by showcasing their springs, but they also ensure a reliable power reserve of 72 hours.

While the mirror caseback doesn't reveal the movement like traditional transparent designs, it provides a ghostly, opaque view that adds to the intrigue and allure of the watch. Time is tracked by the sword-shaped central hands, with the hours and minutes elegantly engraved on the underside of the sapphire crystal, which protects this mechanical masterpiece.

Limited to just 99 pieces, the Purity Wavy Titanium Mirror is available with options for alligator or nubuck leather straps and is equipped with an ArtyA pin buckle, enhancing its luxurious feel.

ArtyA continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with its unique blend of artistry and mechanical innovation. This limited edition timepiece is not just a watch; it’s a conversation starter, a piece of art that encapsulates the brand's bold vision in the realm of horology. Don't miss your chance to own this fusion of style and technology—it's a must-have for collectors and watch aficionados alike!
