Artisans de Genève Feather for Eliud Kipchoge
Artisans de Genève has created a custom timepiece named Feather for marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge, focusing on extreme weight reduction. The watch features a skeletonized manual-winding movement and a Titalum case to achieve a total weight of just 57 grams.

The watch's design incorporates a sapphire dial and bezel insert to reduce weight and provide a view of the movement, living up to its 'Feather' moniker.
The movement has been modified from an automatic to a manual-winding caliber, reducing weight and width while encouraging a daily winding ritual.
The central chronograph seconds hand is shaped like a red lightning bolt, symbolizing speed and power.
Dial colors of white, red, and green echo the Kenyan flag, representing Kipchoge's homeland.
Hands, bezel markings, and registers are luminous for enhanced visibility in low light conditions.
