MYKU Automatic Series I

MYKU’s latest venture into breaking with boundaries of traditional watchmaking. The design of each piece of the Automatic Series is centred around the unique, semi-precious stone dial at its core, levitating in the 44mm custom-crafted stainless-steel case.

Albeit introducing a brand new technology, the new series continues to embody MYKU’s clear, simple, yet elegant design language. Each case is crafted in a dedicated finishing, including mirror and vertical brush in a concentric and matte setting, challenging our artisans to master this sophisticated method of watchmaking.

This new series reflects the brand’s quest for watchmaking perfection and respect for the century-long creation process of natural semi-precious stones.

As a first for MYKU, each timepiece features an automatic self-winding Swiss movement set with 25 jewels which can be discovered through the sapphire glass bulls-eye at the back of the watch.

Each timepiece is set with a custom curved sapphire glass, ensuring extreme resistance and creating a mesmerizing reflection of the stone dial underneath.

The launch of MYKU’s Automatic Series marks the team’s meticulous journey from the first sketch to the prototype of the new model. To celebrate its release, this automatic collection set with Lapis Lazuli is limited to 20 timepieces only.

The stone:

Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock known for its iridescent shades of blue. The stone’s celestial blue colouring is created by the mineral Lazurite. The most sought-after Lapis Lazuli are the stones containing lesser impurities, increasing their value through forming an almost monochromatic surface. At MYKU we break with this convention and we celebrate the unique character of each surface, created through their inclusions. Since ancient times, Lapis Lazuli has been treasured for its deep, beautiful blue. The name Lapis Lazuli derives from Latin and Persian, literally meaning blue stone. Historically, Lapis Lazuli has been highly prized for its symbolism of royalty, honour and most importantly, wisdom and truth. It was believed to be the fifth stone used for the original breastplate of the High Priest in Christianity. Lapis has also been used as jewellery, dyes and medicinal elixirs for Egyptian kings, queens and priests to indicate their status as gods. Lapis Lazuli is believed to help opening our minds and enhancing our intellectual abilities.
