SN 2140 · Brand Site · For review

Two directions, now complete sites.

Following your feedback, we've brought the strongest elements of the four explorations into two refined directions — and built each one out as a complete site: homepage, The Watch, Technology, Story, Journal and article, Contact and Legal. Same story, same facts, two different atmospheres. Both lead with privacy, widen the craft story, hold motion and the blue accent right back, and reinforce Two systems. One object. The four original explorations remain below for reference.

Direction ADirection A
The Object

Centred & cinematic

The watch held in a pool of light — calm, symmetric, product-led. Full-bleed moments and large image-led craft sections.

Direction BDirection B
The Photograph

Cinematic & quiet

Photography leads. Full-bleed imagery, one idea per screen and a single line of type — the most visual silence of the two.

Enter Direction B →

Each direction is a full site. Use the navigation inside — The Watch · Technology · Story · Journal · Contact — to move through the pages. Commerce pages (configurator, pre-order and checkout) are not part of this round. Imagery is placeholder renders and mood photography until the final shoot lands.

What every direction shares

Watch-led hero. Each opens full-bleed on the SN 2140, nothing competing with it.

Charte graphique. Warm black, white as revealing light, grey secondary — blue as a fine accent only.

Clair-obscur. Objects drawn out of darkness by a single controlled light — the Soulages brief.

Privacy first. A "bubble of privacy on the wrist" moment, placed before any talk of technology.

Craft given weight. Swiss Made, the movement, assembly in Le Locle and proportion — not just materials.

A colossal, text-free moment. At least one full-viewport frame where the watch simply is.

Consistent facts. CHF 2,140 · 2,140 per reference · est. delivery Dec 2026 · assembled in Le Locle · Swiss Made.

Motion & type. Subtle, restrained motion and a clean Swiss sans, close to the Charte Graphique.

Option 1Option 1 — Clair-Obscur

Clair-Obscur

Art / Editorial

The purest expression of the charte graphique. Enormous headline type over a ghosted watch dissolving into black, punctuated by two white "gasp" sections that make the darkness feel deliberate.

  • LeansArt / editorial
  • LengthMedium
  • Talks techNo — silent

Signature: the specification laid out as an engineering technical drawing, with monospace leader-line callouts.

Option 2Option 2 — The Question

The Question

Brand / Narrative

The most brand-led and least product-heavy. Numbered chapters (01–05) that read like a manifesto, oversized ghost numerals as graphic furniture, and a thin travelling "horizon" thread down the edge.

  • LeansBrand / narrative
  • LengthMedium
  • Talks techNo — silent

Signature: the only option with a dedicated founders section — Julien & Nuno, "two paths, one conviction."

Option 3Option 3 — Product Immersive

Product Immersive

Product / Cinematic

The most cinematic. The watch sits centre-stage and transforms — black PVD → natural titanium → lit markers — as short copy panels pass it. One object, seen from every angle.

  • LeansProduct / cinematic
  • LengthShort–medium
  • Talks techNo — silent

Signature: the watch morphing across its finishes down the scroll — the most "show, don't tell" of the four.

Option 4Option 4 — Singular

Singular

Complete Storefront

The fullest, most complete storefront. Opens on a quiet-luxury hero — the watch alone in a pool of light — then walks the whole story end to end, from framework to finite availability.

  • LeansComplete storefront
  • LengthLongest
  • Talks techYes — one quiet moment

Signature: a serif grace-note hero, and the only route that tells the whole story including the payment capability.

The four original explorations. These are the first-round directions that informed the two complete sites above — kept here for reference. Same brand, same specs, same sequencing; the difference is emphasis, not accuracy. Renders are placeholder-only until final photography.
