A Submariner transformed by exceptional craftsmen
Les Artisans de Genève are making a big impact with their latest creation, called “Heart of Namibia”. This unique piece is based on a Rolex Submariner 116610, completely redesigned to offer:
– A dial made from genuine meteorite– A unique moon phase display– A finish of exceptional quality
The result is a watch that pushes the boundaries of customization while respecting Rolex's heritage.
A dial from the stars
The most spectacular element of this creation is undoubtedly its dial:
– Carved from a meteorite discovered in Namibia– Refined to just 0.3mm thick– Chemically treated to reveal its natural patterns
This extraterrestrial material gives each watch a unique appearance that is impossible to reproduce.
The moon comes to the wrist
The craftsmen have developed a specific moon phase module for this piece:
– Night sky in midnight blue aventurine– Mother-of-pearl moon– 28 components assembled and decorated by hand
This complication adds a poetic dimension to the robust Submariner.
Refined details down to the smallest corners
Customization doesn't stop at the dial:
– New midnight blue ceramic bezel– Partially laser-engraved case– White gold rotor with meteorite insert
The original Rolex 3135 movement is retained, guaranteeing reliability and precision.
This Rolex Submariner “Heart of Namibia” is offered at a price of 38,000 euros. A price that can be explained by:– The use of precious and rare materials– The considerable manual work– The unique character of each piece
Les Artisans de Genève prove once again that it is possible to sublimate a watchmaking icon while respecting its essence. This bold creation will appeal to collectors in search of truly unique pieces, combining watchmaking technology and celestial poetry.
