Yema GRANVELLE CMM.20 70.25.29.04.SN.L8

Timeless aesthetics: Small seconds with great impact

The Granvelle impresses with its fine, classic dial, which is interrupted by a subtly integrated small seconds at 9 o'clock. This subtle complication is a tribute to traditional watchmaking and gives the overall appearance a stylish vintage touch. The symmetrically appearing asymmetry not only provides more visual depth but also elegantly improves legibility. Especially for lovers of thoughtful design and mechanical sophistication, this reveals a true highlight.

The dial as a work of art

The eye inevitably falls on the artfully guilloché dial, whose concentric pattern seems to come alive through light and movement. The dauphine-shaped hands glide with finely polished elegance over this textured surface. The dial is framed by a finely satin-finished hour ring, whose recessed indices play with light and shadow through their engraving. This creates a graphic contrast that emphasizes the depth effect and gives the dial an almost museum-like aura – as if every second were consciously curated.

Slim case, precise technology

Inside this elegant watch works an in-house micro-rotor caliber that allows the case to be kept particularly flat. Thanks to the compact design and the integration of the rotor within the movement architecture, the Granvelle achieves a height of only 8.60 mm – without losing mechanical performance. With a 70-hour power reserve and 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement offers not only remarkable precision but also the highest everyday practicality in a slim design.

Architecture on the wrist: The case

The 39 mm large, cushion-shaped case is a tribute to the arches of the historic Granvelle Palace in Besançon – the cradle of French watchmaking. Made of vertically satin-finished 316L stainless steel with polished chamfers and a fluted case edge, the case plays with light reflections and emphasizes its sophisticated silhouette. The signature crown with the traditional YEMA "Y" gives the case an additional authentic touch that refers to origin and care.

A tribute to French heritage

The Granvelle Palace, dating from the 16th century, is not only architecturally at the center of Besançon but also symbolically represents the close connection between cultural heritage and timekeeping. Today, it houses the city's watch museum, which tells the history of the region – from the arrival of Swiss watchmakers to the founding of chronometry laboratories and the watchmaking school. The Granvelle is therefore much more than just a watch: it is a bearer of history.

Style meets craftsmanship

Romain Pizzanelli, co-owner and bespoke tailoring consultant at Blandin & Delloye, perfectly embodies the intersection of fine tailoring and watchmaking. His sense for elegance and craftsmanship is also reflected in his philosophy: A watch is like a bespoke suit – it must be worn to endure. This statement captures the essence of the Granvelle: a stylish object with permanence.

A look into the heart of the watch

Through the sapphire crystal case back, the decorated micro-rotor caliber CMM.20 is revealed. The rhodium-plated bridges feature a sunray finish and create a fascinating play of light and movement through their electroplated surface. This play gives the movement a dynamic depth that goes far beyond pure technical fascination.

Wearing comfort in perfection

The watch is rounded off by a high-quality calf leather strap with fine beige stitching. The tapering shape ensures a balanced balance between elegance and comfort, while the stainless steel double folding clasp guarantees not only secure handling but also a harmonious overall appearance. Two different end pieces – Medium and Large – ensure that the strap fits perfectly on the wrist.
