The Art Nouveau-inspired Z-Series draws the eye, like the gold leaf in Klimt’s iconic painting. This early 20th-century artistic movement rebelled against the homogeneity of industrialization by embracing exuberant, ornate designs inspired by the Rococo era. The movement’s heyday only lasted a few decades—eventually giving way to the more enduring style of Art Deco—but Art Nouveau’s legacy includes treasures like Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona. While the movement’s most famous examples are in fine art and architecture, its playful spirit touched everything from literature and fashion to furniture-making and jewelry.
The Z-Series is not for those who favor an understated aesthetic. But for those seeking a statement piece, it checks all the boxes. The skeletonized face, showcasing the watch’s whirring metallic entrails, instills fascination and wonder every time you glance at your wrist. For an unobstructed view of the movements and gears, the face omits numerical markers. Initially, it took me an extra moment to gauge the precise time on my Z-Series, but now that I am acclimated to the numberless face, I can tell time as quickly as with a traditional watch.
The Z-Series feels well-balanced and boasts a pleasant heft on the wrist. Crafted from lightweight titanium, it is durable and resistant to corrosion. The 1.2mm thick sapphire crystal glass resists cracks and scratches. Although it’s sturdy enough to wear for, say, travel or everyday activities, the Z-Series is not a sports watch. I avoid wearing it for outdoor activities, workouts, or athletics. The watch is water-resistant enough that you don’t need to remove it for hand-washing, but it’s best to do so when swimming or bathing.
Prices for the Z-Series range from $239 to $389, depending on the specific model and materials.
