All about the RALF TECH Académie California ACY 1103

Everything about the "Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE California ACY 1103", which impresses with its navy blue dial.

ACADÉMIE is the classic of the RALF TECH collection. The California dial, known in the 1930s as "error proof", gives this ACADÉMIE a unique character and a unparalleled readability. Given the rarity of California dials, it is also a reference point for connoisseurs.

The ACADÉMIE model, which Frank Huyghe designed 2015 in memory of a watch belonging to his grandfather, does not correspond to RALF TECH's style. "Why not? Is there a RALF TECH style? Tell me more about visions, joy, envy... And then let's talk about style! Design is not fixed, it evolves and adapts "Man is his source and his promised land".
Round, curved, sensual without being feminine, its curves are both pleasing to the eye and gentle to the touch. Timeless, inspired by the 50s and 60s, he reinterprets them without distorting them. The glass in the form of a “glass box” is the highlight. And once again the recipe is followed at the Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE California ACY 1103: Instinct, first draft, feedback and final draft.
