Yesterday Khronos in StarHill which is the official distributor for the new brand Cyrus invited MWF members for a special preview of the collection that was just presented at SIHH2011.
We meet with one of the brand founder Mr Laurent Lecamp who is also the MD.
The brand is new and is scheduled to deliver its first time pieces around May or June this year.
You can read about the history of the brand and its ideas in the web link below.
http://www.cyrus-watches.ch/en/The Cyrus line has 2 models one entry level and one high end.
The cheaper line uses a ETA movt and the higher end self made.
The movements for both were designed by Jean-François Mojon who won the award for the best matchmaker of the year 2010 at the Grand Prix d'Hologerie notably for his work on the Harry Winston Opus 10.
Kuros is the entry level at 9900 swiss francs. And the high end Klepcys is 99,000 swiss francs.

- They only use Ti/ Ti DLC or Gold.
- They will NEVER (strong words eh) make a tourbillon because Laurent says its not technical enough.
