It might sound like the title of an oriental fantasy film whose heroes would doubtless wear one of these two models. Especially since the brand’s name is itself inspired by a famous conqueror of the Ancient World, Cyrus the Great. In actual fact these terms refer to the characteristics of the 2014 interpretations representing the two iconic Cyrus collections: the limited-edition Klepcys Moon Full Titanium and the one-of-a-kind Dragon creation from the Kambys line. Both are equipped with Manufacture-made calibers developed with watchmaking designer-developer Jean-François Mojon (winner of the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève). No need for 3D glasses to appreciate the décor and the 3D functions of the Klepcys, whose 390-part self-winding movement displays the patented indications in a highly innovative way. The retrograde hours are read off on the left-hand side of the dial ; the minutes and seconds disks operate on a movable axis also indicating the day/night by two rotating cubes ; while the other section stages an impressive spherical moon and a generous display of the patented retrograde date display with rotating tens digits. A case of what can happen when watchmaking history meets the history of humankind.
