ArtyA Cumbere Tourbillon & ArtyA Son Of Sound Magic Black Tourbillon Watches
ArtyA is a brand established by Swiss watch designer Yvan Arpa. Prior to ArtyA, he had stints at Baume & Mercier, Hublot, and later, Romain Jerome. ArtyA was started in 2010 and soon gained a reputation for making brash and creative?timepieces. And for 2016, the brand?is releasing two unique pieces, the ArtyA Cumbere Tourbillon and the ArtyA Son of Sound Magic Black Tourbillon.Both new watches use ArtyA's distinctive guitar-shaped case which comes from the brand's Son of Sound collection of music-inspired pieces. Both have the same case which measures 37mm wide, 49mm tall, and 15mm thick; and they are crafted using ArtyOr – an alloy made out of gold and recycled bullets – and black PVD. One thing prospective buyers should note is that the case is not water resistant. Now, let's take a closer look at the two of them, beginning with the ArtyA Cumbere Tourbillon.
