A watch, an accessory, a piece of jewellery: with its Translucent 8x, the Ticino-based Alfex brand explores uncharted territory. This contemporary and avant-garde watch innovates first and foremost in terms of its shape with a bangle-type textured acrylic strap, and secondly through its lines. An octagon duplicated all around the strongly curving bracelet creates a wire mesh pattern composing a sequence of “8” numbers echoing the mathematical symbol of infinity. The off-centred dial shakes up conventions by framing the outlines of four assembled octagons. This model showcases the technical and aesthetic talents of Alfex by achieving a perfect balance between materials: supple and transparent acrylic on the one hand, and sturdy steel on the other, all in harmonious shades of grey. Like all Alfex creations, Translucent 8x embodies the watchmaker’s commitment to producing resolutely future-oriented timepieces with high added value.
