In a market dominated by automatic watches, CYRUS<\/strong> has dared to launch a timepiece with manual double barrel winding and a seven-day power reserve. The movement (290 components, 50 rubies) is a 100% in-house manufacture movement, created under the aegis of renowned, award-winning Swiss watchmaker Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Mojon<\/strong>. The design of this timepiece (available in titanium and black\/red gold DLC titanium) was developed in perfect synergy with the brand\u2019s identity, which places great emphasis on attention to detail. Recognizable as a CYRUS<\/strong> from first glance, it has a sleek design, where each element has been carefully weighed up and designed by our in-house team. A patented design, which perfectly moulds the shape of the wrist. This collection is the fruit of the partnership between our two founders, Julien and Laurent LECAMP. The selection of functions, the manual movement, the design features and the unusual bracelet were all created and developed within the family, with the utmost respect for the CYRUS<\/strong> philosophy. The distinctive mark of the two cousins can be found discreetly inscribed on the back of the calibre.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Four digits, 7778<\/strong> are etched, recalling the cousins\u2019 two birth dates. Highlighting the classic character of this new timepiece, CYRUS<\/strong> offers elegant functions (hours, minutes, seconds, power reserve) and a unique, secret animation, all brought to life by a spectacular movement which is fully visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case. At first glance it catches your eye, the power reserve (between 2 and 4 o\u2019clock) will captivate you with its three barrels sliding progressively along a vertical axis as the seven days unfold\u2026Each barrel has a power reserve of two<\/strong> days, apart from the final barrel (three<\/strong> days). The red colour of the final barrel and the upper dial reminds you of the colour of the Principality of Monaco. The seconds function is truly original and technically advanced, with its three angled hands (red colour), each of which counts 20 seconds before passing the baton to the next hand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then there is the secret animation (between 9 and 12 o\u2019clock), which is activated by simply pressing the crown at 9 o\u2019clock. The text \u2018pi\u00e8ce unique<\/b><\/i>\u2019 then appears. Press it again, and \u2018the flagship of Monaco<\/b><\/i>\u2019<\/b> appears to replace the previous inscription. Press one last time and\u2026the CYRUS logo<\/b> will be there. The design of the bracelet has also been carefully thought out. A perfect continuation of the curve of the timepiece, the bracelet also has at its centre an opening, at the heart of which there are three barrels in a mechanism which recalls the \u2018abacus\u2019 design of the power reserve. One question remains. Why did we call this collection \u2018KAMBYS<\/strong>\u2019? CAMBYSES<\/strong> was the name of CYRUS THE GREAT\u2019s son and successor. Since each of our collections is linked to the history of CYRUS<\/strong> (the \u2018KUROS<\/strong>\u2019 collection takes its name from the Greek for CYRUS, for example), it seemed obvious that we should create a collection which paid homage to CYRUS THE GREAT\u2019s son, adapting his name slightly so that it starts with a \u2018K\u2019 \u2013 the letter with which the names of all three of our collections begin. \u2018K<\/strong>\u2019 for \u2018KING<\/strong>\u2019, naturally.You may wonder about the number 3<\/strong>: it is an underlying theme in all of our designs. If you would like to know why (of course this is no coincidence), please contact the ONLY WATCH<\/strong> team or the CYRUS<\/strong> one, who will pass on the secret\u2026<\/p>\n
