The Kambys collection is the fruit of the partnership between our two founders, Julien and Laurent Lecamp. The selection of functions, the manual movement, the design features and the unusual bracelet were all created and developed within the family.
The distinctive mark of the two cousins can be found discreetly inscribed on the back of the calibre. Four digits, 7778 are etched, recalling the cousins’ two birth dates. The sleek design of this timepiece (available in titanium and black / red gold DLC titanium) is recognizable as a CYRUS from first glance.
The movement (290 components, 50 rubies) is a 100% in-house manufacture movement, created under the aegis of renowned, awardwinning Swiss watchmaker Jean-François Mojon.
The watch offers the hours, minutes and seconds functions, as well as the power reserve and a unique, secret animation, all brought to life by a movement which is fully visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case.
The power reserve (between 2 and 4 o’clock) shows three barrels sliding progressively along a vertical axis as the seven days unfold. Each barrel has a power reserve of two days, apart from the final barrel (three days). Specially for the #1 piece dedicated to Only Watch, the final barrel and the upper dial are red - the colour of the Principality of Monaco.
The seconds function is truly original with its three angled hands (red colour), each of which counts 20 seconds before passing the baton to the next hand.
Then there is the secret animation (between 9 and 12 o’clock), which is activated by simply pressing the crown at 9 o’clock. The text ‘pièce unique’ then appears. Press it again, and ‘the flagship of Monaco’ appears to replace the previous inscription. Press one last time and...the CYRUS logo will be there.
The design of the bracelet has also been carefully thought out. A continuation of the curve of the timepiece, the bracelet also has at its centre an opening, at the heart of which there are three barrels in a mechanism which recalls the ‘abacus’ design of the power reserve.
