The pentagon
A new shape for a wristwatch
The rounded pentagon, a rare form of elegance, has not yet been explored in watchmaking.
This harmonious shape, inspired by the hand’s five fingers, is a homage paid to the manual operations requisite to making a quality watch.
Produced locally
Over 80% of the materials for our Mina watches are produced in Geneva by companies renowned for their expertise in manufacturing high-quality watchmaking parts.
A pool of sector-specific expertise
The concept of a case designed with disruptive geometry would have been difficult to develop without complete mastery of current CAD tools; machining that calls for agility and experience to produce small quantities of quality cases at an affordable price; the perfect movement and well-honed tools to guarantee a perfect finish and thus magnify the harmony of the design.
