MYKU Automatic Series I Lapis Lazuli Limited Edition

To celebrate its fifth anniversary, MYKU debuts its very first automatic timepiece, creating a brand-new refined design, that places the uniqueness of each stone dial at the centre of its focus.
Breaking with boundaries of traditional watchmaking in this new series, the MYKU’s automatic series showcases each unique stone dial, seemingly floating at the centre of the case. Every stone is carefully selected, choosing the most expressive deep-blue shades of Lapis Lazuli. Encased in this series’ new design, each dial evokes the idea of a deep-blue starlit night sky with each look at the watch.
As MYKU’s first mechanical movement, this new series reflects the brand’s quest for watchmaking perfection and the respect for the century-long evolution of natural semi-precious stones. Debuting for MYKU, each timepiece features an automatic self-winding Swiss movement with 25 jewels. 
Every detail of this new series sparks innovation. Breaking with traditions, the leather straps are no longer held with lugs, but fitted covertly into position under the curvature of each case, allowing for an easy release, yet reliable hold at all times.
The new series continues to embody MYKU’s clear, simple, yet elegant, design language. The surface of each watch features a dedicated finishing, including mirror and vertical brush in a concentric, matte setting, a process that poses a sophisticated challenge for the most skilled craftsmen to master. Each watch is set with a custom curved sapphire glass, which is extremely resistant.
