FSOT: Wyler Geneve Code-R Chronograph Titanium White Dial On Leather !!

[canwatchco]

First, a bit about these Wylers:

"The shock-absorbing case design of the Wyler Genève Code-R collection employs robust yet lightweight materials such as titanium and carbon fibre resin as the basis for a big, tough watch that nevertheless sits comfortably on the wrist.

The movement is sealed in a titanium container held in place by a carbon-fibre frame to which the upper and lower metal plates are fixed by means of titanium screws mounted on springs. This leaves the movement suspended inside the watch, allowing shocks to be absorbed using a principle similar to that of a car's suspension.

The Wyler Genève Code-R chronograph features the industry's only shock-absorbing watch case, built to offer the ultimate in shock protection with a bold and resolutely sporty design.

It pays homage to Paul Wyler, the watchmaker who founded the company and who was renowned for his innovations to make watches more durable. The most notable of these was the unbreakable Incaflex balance wheel, which he invented in 1927. It is featured in a special limited series of 3,999 pieces of the Code-R chronograph."


Now, my take! These watches intrigued me when they were released at a retail price of not less than $10,000! When I finally had one in my hands I was blown away. Built like a sandwich, similar in many ways to Hublot's Big Bang, using multiple materials. Solid. Well constructed. Gorgeous dials. Powered by ETA's 2894-2 37 jewel chronograph movement. Reliable. The shock absorber system is amazing. You can flex the movement down into the cage.

Very large! If you can't wear a 44mm Panerai, then you will likely find this one too large. It is 43mm wide, and about 51mm long. It fits perfectly, AND COMFORTABLY on my 7.5" wrist. These watches are striking in person. Unique crown guard system and chrono pushers inspired by race cars.

Wyler Geneve has halted production, and have decided to ride out the "recession" on the sidelines. They are allowing their product to be sold slowly into the secondary market. Hence, these Code-R's are arriving at affordable pricing. They come with their magnificent leather two-tier boxsets (huge!), which include a travel case as well. No papers or instruction books.

$3950 delivered to any address in Canada or add $50 for fully insured overnight to the States. I will consider trades as well. MSRP on these models range from $11k to $12.5k.

This Wyler is white dialed with black numerals in titanium and it is on a long brown leather strap:







This watch is in Montreal and available for local inspection. My photos do not do the watch justice. It is magnificent in person! Email me for hi-res photos.

Please email me with any questions.
