EPOS OEUVRE D’ART 3435

EPOS's key philosophy and aspiration has always been to produce unique Swiss mechanical watches. This approach is underlined by high-quality decoration and finishing at every stage of production. The "Verso" watch is a logical consequence of the brand's evolution. Until now, beautifully decorated movements were only visible through the back of the watch. Therefore, EPOS designers decided to launch a unique watch where the mechanical functions are directly visible on the owner's wrist.

The EPOS 3435 "Verso" is a tribute to the EPOS 'Hundertwasser' watch, whose finishing by the renowned Austrian painter Hundertwasser took over seven years. The unique model was introduced by EPOS as a limited edition in 1993. The watch featured two sets of hands, front and back, with time "flowing" in reverse on each.

EPOS designers combined the possibility of viewing the beauty of the Unitas movement's rear with the artist's philosophy, and thus the EPOS 3435 "Verso" was created. To make time reading possible, engineers had to move the hands to the back of the movement and reverse their direction of operation. This effect was achieved through the use of an innovative solution and an additional gear wheel placed on the main bridge.

The next step was to correctly position the dial on the right side of the rear of the movement and mount it on a three-point attachment. Since there was only space for 2 screws, an additional stabilizing layer was used to protect against external vibrations at the 2 o'clock position.
