EPOS OEUVRE D’ART 3435 VERSO

EPOS OEUVRE D’ART 3435 LIMITED TO 999 pieces

EPOS's key philosophy and aspiration have always been to produce unique Swiss mechanical watches. This approach has been emphasized 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 introduce a unique watch where mechanical functions are visible directly 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 in a limited edition in 1993. The watch featured two pairs of hands, on the back and front, with time "flowing" in the opposite direction on each.

EPOS designers combined the possibility of observing the beauty of the back of the Unitas movement with the artist's philosophy, and thus the EPOS 3435 "Verso" was created. To enable time reading, engineers had to move the hands to the back of the movement and change their direction of operation. The aforementioned effect was achieved by applying an innovative solution and using an additional gear wheel placed on the main bridge.

The next step was to correctly place the dial on the right side of the back 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 at 2 o'clock to protect against external vibrations.
