Claude Meylan Lac Watch 42 mm 6046 F

The Brand

Since the 18th century, the Meylan family has played a part in the history of fine watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, the historic cradle of Swiss watchmaking.
In 1988, Claude Meylan founded his namesake house with a singular vision: to reveal the hidden beauty of mechanical movements. Each movement is “stripped back,” worked, and decorated to reveal its gears, bridges, and architecture. This approach gave rise to a distinctive art of skeletonization that became the house's signature. Bringing together traditional heritage and contemporary creativity, Claude Meylan creates timepieces in which the mechanics become a work of art.

The Watch

This watch's distinctly modern, elegant design suits men who appreciate sophistication and precision. Its round stainless steel case has a polished, glossy finish for a sturdy yet refined look. At 42 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, it balances presence with comfort. A stainless steel bezel adds to its refined lines, while the transparent case back with sapphire crystal offers a captivating view of the movement. Its distinctive winding crown makes it a compelling piece for watch enthusiasts.

The Dial

This watch's dial is an exquisite blend of complexity and refinement. Its blue color and sunray finish create a striking play of light with every movement. The open-heart design reveals the mechanical movement in action, while the rotating openworked dial brings an original touch to the display of the hours and minutes. This wedding of innovative techniques and quality materials makes the dial a focal point on the wrist.

The Movement

This timepiece houses a Swiss ETA Unitas mechanical movement known for its reliability and precision. The ETA 6497-1 caliber offers a 42-hour power reserve. Manually winding it becomes a daily ritual that connects you with the passage of time. Collectors particularly value this movement for its durability and smooth, precise display of the hours and minutes.

The Strap

This watch's bovine leather strap has a crocodile pattern that adds a distinctive, luxurious touch. Its blue color complements the dial and enhances the watch's elegance. A pin buckle provides a secure, comfortable fit and makes the strap easy to fasten. Subtle contrast stitching highlights its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Water Resistance

Water-resistant to 3 ATM, this watch is designed to withstand splashes and accidental immersion, but it is not suitable for prolonged swimming or diving.
