The Maison
Armand NICOLET’s eight collections are each made up of a series
of unique complications that have been studied and designed
by our engineers and created by our master watchmakers inside
our Atelier in Tramelan, Switzerland.
The precious metals of gold and steel, MOP dials, and diamonds
mixed with an array of choices of steel bracelets, calf, crocodile
or rubber straps provides many choices for the watch wearer
who has different needs and renders he or she who wears it,
a great feeling of satisfaction.
The M02 collection
is Armand Nicolet milestone in its cutting-edge research into
watch making technology and expert craftsmanship, an example
of the perfect balance it has achieved between formal innovation
and historical tradition.
Despite the classic formality of their lines, M02 watches

fit desired by customers who are increasingly attentive to
every detail.

Nicolet watch an important item always appropriate.
This collection

of female taste. Each model in the M03 collection becomes
a functional object as well as a precious ornament, an example
of superior beauty, fineness and elegance represented in various
precious and sparkling versions having bezels, cases and buckles
set with diamonds.
The S05 collection
is based on detailed research carried out in the analysis
of the most advanced technologic materials and avant-garde
techniques required to produce a perfect model, thanks to
the infinite care dedicated to the engineering specifications
and to the assembly of special details that integrate rubber
and steel. S05 is a collection conceived for refined and dynamic
people that has the purpose to overpass the strongest challenges,
with the ability to match every difficult situation of weather
or light.
Following
the big success of the Limited Edition, Armand Nicolet introduces
in 2006 the new L06, the new special series that utilizes
as its base the UT 176 produced in 1951. 425 pieces were found
from this era in the company's warehouse. All the technical
refinement given to the first Limited Edition has been enhanced,
skilfully skeletoning the balance zone through which the wheels
movement is visible in a beautiful framed opening, especially
created on the dial. The 425 movements of the L06 will be
assembled in 5 series:
100 pieces with case and buckle in steel, silvered dial and
brown alligator strap

The Armand
Nicolet Limited Edition introduces a new fantastic kind of
production for the Maison. This model produced in a limited
edition of 135 pieces of outstanding prestige, uses as its
base the UT 176 (manual winding and small seconds movements
found in the company warehouse produced in 1948) that has
been completely modified updating them to the modern standards.
All the parts of the movements have been finely decorated,
the plate and the bridges are Rhodium finished and gold engraved
on ""Côte de Genève"" or ""Perlage"" while the visible screws
are Blue. The application of the shock absorber Incabloc was
integrated from the adjustment of the Swan Neck mechanism.
The Ruage and the Reglage have been revised and meticulously
set in 5 positions -0/+20 to obtain the characteristics of
regulation of the best Swiss mechanical production.
The Maison Armand Nicolet wanted to create with this new line a collection in gent size that offers not only the choice between attractive and beautiful movement complications but also a choice between round and tonneau case shapes.
