WINDING UP SCATOLA DEL TEMPO REVISITS ROTOR-ONE. With the exterior designed by Sandro Colarieti and the insides now powered by a Swiss-made engine, the Rotor One has had a full body makeover. This new version creates a vintage feel with leather over a round drum and is available in seven colors and various bezel options that emulate iconic watch designs. With or without protective glass, the Rotor-One's frame, made of leather-coated ABS polymer, is suitable for all automatic watches. Inside the case the Swiss engine of choice is the same engine that drives the SwissKubiK - a Swiss made technology designed and manufactured in the brand's workshops in Fribourg, Switzerland. The Swiss micro motor operates without any magnetizing effect and offers ultra quiet operation. Its exceptional autonomy of three years is obtained thanks to the low consumption of two alkaline C-cell batteries with the motor making 1,800 rotations in both directions daily to maintain your automatic timepieces in good running order. Each costs $550 at www.scatoladeltempous.com or you can see them in person at our Leading Watch Retailer partner Wempe Jewelers in New York. FALL 2019 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | 97
