Alto Art 02
Alto has introduced its second model, the Art 02, featuring a refined and updated design with a smaller case and an upgraded movement. This new iteration includes a matching titanium bracelet and a proprietary calibre, offering a more compelling value proposition compared to its predecessor.
- Price: €13,100 excluding taxes
- 42.3 x 36 mm titanium case
- 10.2 mm height
- 50 m water resistance
- Automatic Cal. A02 movement
- 50 hours power reserve
- 36,000 beats per hour (5 Hz) frequency
- Not a limited edition
The Art 02 features a geometric, faceted grade 5 titanium case that has been downsized to 42.5 mm top to bottom, making it wear smaller overall despite being slightly thicker than the Art 01.
The dial is microblasted brass with an anthracite finish, featuring a widened flange with a contrasting hour and minutes track and a simplified Alto signature at 12 o'clock.
The hands have been tweaked to be skeletonised and stripped of lume, and the central seconds hand runs anticlockwise.
The new proprietary Cal. A02 movement features a free-sprung balance and a fast-beating 5 Hz oscillating frequency, with a sandblasted titanium main plate and brass bridges finished with straight graining.
The watch is fitted with a matching grade 5 titanium bracelet featuring wide Y-shaped links with sharp satin-brushed facets, designed to form a single coherent architectural design with the case.
The bracelet includes a double-folding clasp with 4 mm of micro-adjustment and an integrated quick-release system for swapping straps.
The retail price of €13,100 is significantly less than its predecessor, the Art 01.
