En raison de son look rétro agrémenté d’une touche de modernité, cette montre de la issue de la collection Legacy d’Accutron met au goût du jour le modèle « 261 » lancé en 1971 grâce au mouvement automatique à 26 rubis fabriqué en Suisse d’Accutron qui lui confère qualité et fiabilité. Le boîtier de cette montre de luxe, dont le diamètre mesure toujours 38,5 mm pour un look unisexe, évoque la forme chic d’un coussin et est rehaussé d’une couronne à la position 4 h. Puisque seulement 600 exemplaires sont produits, il s’agit d’une montre tout aussi unique qu’audacieuse qui s’impose autant aujourd’hui qu’il y a 50 ans.

Accutron Legacy
THE “TV” WATCH
Throughout the 60s and 70s television programming blossomed and infiltrated American households like neverbefore, with families often gathered around their TVs. Accutron’s 261 watches represented this cultural shift as the brand designed many timepieces inspired by the space-age look of TVs at that time, with the 261 boasting a big, bold linear cushion shape with an organic exaggerated domed circle in the center. Coinciding, the world of art was transforming with movements such as Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and Minimalism taking lead. The brand,inspired by these movements, brought to life these designs in their timepieces that would then transcendgenerations. The highly coveted 261 watches from 1971 are some of the most commemorated and were known as the “TV watches.” Today the 261 Legacy collection timepieces return offering a retro look with a modern twist.
