The Patek Philippe x Tiffany Nautilus and the AET Remould—Biscay Green

WATCH MODDING AND ARTISTRY WITH AET REMOULD

October 28, 2022 in Other brands

AET Remould originated in Germany with a new and unparalleled perspective in the field of luxury watch modifications. Combining modern art with traditional watchmaking, the brand is focused on providing value to its customers through the modifications it performs on luxury watches. Those who purchase a watch that has passed through the hands of AET's specialists, not only benefit from the timepiece purchased, they will be able to wear the entire brand story on their wrist. A story that starts with the study of innovative materials, AET is renowned for their uniqueness through the use of sapphire, ceramics and cermets, all of which are difficult to process and result in distinctively unparalleled timepieces.

Basing their work already on the most coveted watches on the market, AET makes an innate statement that their collection pieces are rare collectors’ items. From years of study the brand has developed applications of non-traditional materials in the field to create even more special watches that can be cherished like works of art. The utilization of ceramic in special edition models brings in a bright aesthetic with wear-resistance and anti-corrosion properties. When it is close to the skin it brings an unprecedented affinitive experience; the feeling is as warm as jade. On the other hand, when it comes to sapphire, it is very hard and crystalline. The pieces in which it is encased are incredible – beautifully brilliant. Cermet is comfortable to wear without losing its texture, it combines the hardness of metal and the wear resistance of ceramics making the elements produced with it very durable.

An example of this implementation in the design of watches produced by brands such as Rolex and Richard Mille, is with the color that signifies speed, otherwise known as ‘Abu Dhabi Blue’. What is the best way to express your passion for the thrill of racing on a circuit such as ‘Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit’ than by wearing a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona modified to incorporate the color of speed. In addition to this, the chances of another enthusiast owning the same watch are reduced thanks to AET Remould's policy of producing a small number of models in order to offer its clients something that is premium in the industry.

Wearing AET Remould's modified watches gives you access to a select club of personalities who have modified watches in their personal collections. These include, famous singer and entrepreneur Rick Roos, real estate consultant Karim Haddad, and football player Javier Hernandez Balcazar, all of them sharing a common passion for personalized timepieces, being owners of watches modified by AET Remould.

From the first modified watches and continuing with the new models, AET Remould is climbing the ladder of success step by step and continues its continuous development process. Achieving results that are certainly unlike any other brand, offering distinctive timepieces with a unique story. On the wrist of the wearer always knowing that every watch that has the symbol of its brand completes the story that will last for many years to come.
