Claude Meylan Lac Watch 42 mm 6144 WP

The Brand

In the heart of the Vallée de Joux, the story of Claude Meylan is rooted in a family watchmaking tradition dating back to the 18th century.
From one generation to the next, a passion for mechanical movements was passed down to Claude Meylan, who founded his own watchmaking house in 1988. His craft follows a bold principle: rather than hide the mechanics, reveal them in all their complexity. Bridges, wheels and components are shaped into openwork structures with unique forms. Each creation brings together watchmaking precision, sculpture and design, giving time a new dimension.

The Watch

This men's watch stands out for its round stainless steel case, measuring 42 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick. Its polished, glossy finish catches the light and gives it a distinctly modern look. The sturdy steel case is built to last while retaining its shine. Designed and made in Switzerland, the watch reflects exacting standards of quality and mechanical precision. A transparent case back offers a view of the movement through sapphire crystal, the same material used over the dial.

The Dial

The dial makes an impression with its skeleton design, offering a view of the movement's gears. Its carefully placed open areas and multicolored design turn the dial into a showcase of exceptional technical skill. A clear analog display indicates the hours and minutes. The hands stand out against the beautifully detailed background. A protective flat sapphire crystal ensures clear legibility and helps guard against scratches.

The Movement

At the heart of the watch is a Swiss manual-winding mechanical movement, caliber ETA 6497-1. Known for its precision and reliability, this caliber delivers an authentic mechanical watch experience. Its 42-hour power reserve keeps it running for nearly two days without winding. The skeletonized design showcases the open movement, with every component arranged to balance visual appeal and mechanical function. A transparent case back with sapphire crystal keeps the movement on display.

The Bracelet

The black rubber strap combines comfort with a modern look, making it well suited to an active lifestyle. Its black color adds understated elegance that complements the watch. The rubber is durable and fits comfortably around the wrist. A pin buckle provides a secure closure and makes the strap easy to adjust for everyday wear.

Water Resistance

Rated at 3 ATM, this watch can withstand splashes and light rain, making it practical for everyday activities that do not involve prolonged immersion. Although it is not intended for diving, it can withstand pressure equivalent to a depth of approximately 30 meters.
