Designed by Santiago Calatrava, Gübelin unveils its own watch, "Ipsomatic"

The Gübelin Ipsomatic is a sculptural watch with a rather unique shape and strong personality. The 39mm case, made of platinum, shows dramatically expressive curves all around, with organic, flowing lines from one lug to another,  framing a central case with “vents” between the lugs.

The name ‘Ipsomatic’ refers to a legendary model of the same name from the 1950s and 1960s by Gübelin with a Felsa movement. Derived from Latin, ‘Ipsomatic’ refers to the mechanical movement, with ipso referring to the self-winding movement. Gübelin presented a special ‘Ipsomatic’ for its 100th anniversary, featuring a finely finished rotor engraved with the dates 1854-1954.

The back of the Gübelin Ipsomatic is made of a solid platinum cover engraved with an original drawing by Santiago Calatrava depicting two bulls.
