Alto has introduced its second model, the ART 02, a refined version of its ART 01. This new watch features a smaller, more wearable case, an integrated titanium bracelet, and an upgraded in-house micro-rotor movement.

The ART 02's case proportions are updated to 42.3mm length x 36mm width x 10.2mm thickness, making it sleeker than the ART 01.
The ART 02 features a newly developed calibre that maintains the brand’s signature anti-clockwise seconds hand.
The geometric faceted grade 5 titanium case has been downsized to 42.5 mm top to bottom, making it wear much smaller overall.
The new integrated bracelet seamlessly connects to the case, continuing the visual arc across the bevelled crystal.
The redesigned rehaut allows for easier reading of the time and marks a seamless transition from the slatted dial to the angular case.
The new Cal. A02 movement features a free-sprung balance and a fast-beating 5 Hz oscillating frequency, with a power reserve of 50 hours.
The ALTO calibre A02 movement increases the power reserve to 50 hours and beats at a higher frequency of 36,000 vph (5 Hz).
The integrated bracelet has Y-shaped lugs cut at sharp angles, softened by a brushed finish applied in differing directions.
