Power, precision and beauty

Calibre SH21, as you’ve never seen it before

The bold and the beautiful

Twelve X’s many-layered, multi-angled bridgework has never looked better than on the Steel, where they’re all hand-polished by our partners at specialists APJ Sàrl. They’ve hired and trained new staff, and fine-tuned their production flow, to make first the Bel Canto, and now the Twelve X Steel, possible.

Rear window

There are over 150 polished facets on the Twelve X Steel, and the reverse of the watch shows off many of them: if there’s one thing we’d never do, it’s make the face immaculate while leaving the back sandblasted and plain. Sure, that’s a good way to save money – but the Twelve X is about cutting as few corners as possible, so cost be hanged. (And where we do save, it’s always on elements the owner will never see or feel.)

Bridges of size

Open worked watches look amazing, but at the same time can appear busy and difficult to read. That’s why we put so much time and effort into splitting time-telling away from the movement here, with bold hands, clear hour and minute marks around the rim and big, blocky, brutalist bridge work. It results in a design that’s cohesive and strong, not built of lots of confusing little bridges.

Blue crush

For the Steel, we’ve made a number of design tweaks here and there. Consider the new electric blue handset and luminous dial ring, which really ping. Or the new lume, no longer white but now a subtle shade of pale blue. It all makes the watch clearer to read than ever. (The other difference, of course, is one you’ll feel rather than see: the weight is inevitably up when compared to the Ti, at 65g for the head alone.)

Low profile

In most regards, this is exactly the same watch as the Twelve X Ti, with the same 41mm case, and the same box sapphires top and bottom to reveal the skeleton movement, as well as make the mid-case appear super-slim. (This said, the height is actually very low, especially for a Calibre SH21 automatic – just 12.3mm.)
