New Times of a great Clock Manufacture
« The Art of living you Time » is much more than a motto, it is the
quintessence of Matthew Norman and perfectly embodies the new philosophy of the
famous Swiss brand.
Capitalizing on a fantastic know-how gathered through decades of in-house
carriage clocks manufacturing, the collection has amazingly evolved and now
includes skeleton clocks, attractive limited timepieces and astounding
complications. Matthew Norman’s table clocks are a must-have as much for
horological aficionados as for lovers of pure design articles.
Matthew Norman personifies « the Art of living your Time » with three lines of
products. A highly technical one features a unique five-barrel forty-day
mechanical movement, an innovative open-disc power-reserve display, and a
vertically-tilted regulating organ : L’Audacieuse. The second one highlights the
purity of the designs with special attention to the movement’s components
including the plates : Diaphane. Clocks lend themselves extremely well to this
kind of effect thanks to the parts’s large size. The last line : Wind combines
the beauty of mechanical movement with the majesty of sophisticated housings.
Matthew Norman’s exceptional beauty is also enhanced thnks to the exclusive use
of noble materials such as brass, specific woods and cut glasses endowing the
clocks with inimitable stature and radiance.
Up to three hundred parts compose a mechanical clock. Upon successful completion
of up to two thousand operations required to its assembly, the company records
tracing information such as the movement number, the watchmaker name, and the
production date. All mechnical clocks made in the workshops are hand-crafted,
part by part, by experienced craftmen. The range now includes eight-day
movements set with eighteen jewels, forty-day movement enhanced with
thirty-seven jewels.
Enriched by a well-established practice of the art of horology, the company now
successfully combines historical and modern elements. Thanks to its own true
Manufacture and to the skills of its watchmakers, Matthew Norman is able to
offer exceptional products based on a century old and living tradition.
