Mercury Alchemy
Limited to 40 pieces.
What if Mercury could be transformed into gold?
That question became the starting point for Mercury Alchemy. Inspired by the ancient pursuit of transmutation, we imagined our Mercury collection reinterpreted in a rich dark gold finish, paired with a deep green enamelled sunburst dial. The result is a watch whose colours feel inseparable. Dark gold and deep green have always belonged together.
The cream numerals, created in our exclusive custom typeface, were drawn to echo the flowing architecture of the case, while the hand-finished, micro-painted cream hands bring warmth and exceptional legibility to the dial. Every detail has been carefully considered to create what we believe is one of the most harmonious interpretations of Mercury yet.
The bracelet receives the same dark gold treatment as the case, while brushed centre links add a more refined character and a subtle contrast in finish. Like every Mercury bracelet, it incorporates a discreet on-the-fly micro-adjustment, allowing the fit to adapt effortlessly as your wrist changes throughout the day or across the seasons. For those who prefer leather, the cream nubuck strap is paired with a brushed dark gold buckle, finished with the same attention to elegance and durability.
Beneath its distinctive appearance beats our calibre I-7, based on the legendary ETA Peseux 7001. Renowned for its slim profile and reliability, it offers a 42-hour power reserve and remains one of the finest hand-wound movements ever produced.
Limited to just 40 pieces, Mercury Alchemy is not simply a new finish. It is the moment Mercury turns to gold.
Now available with complimentary worldwide shipping. Ten pieces are available for immediate dispatch, with additional pieces arriving in September.
