Introducing The New Atelier FVF Genève FVF2 Time & Day Intrepido

Franc Vila is an independent Spanish watchmaker and a well-known figure in haute horology. He established his namesake brand in 2005 but later sold it after the business underperformed. In 2018, he returned with a new brand, Atelier FVF Genève, blending his signature design philosophy with modern craftsmanship.

The FVF2 Time & Day marks the latest release, and The FVF2 marks the start of the brand’s new Collection Intrepido, a line dedicated to traditional and sporty timepieces. The watch features a Grade 5 titanium unibody case, measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 9.75mm in thickness. The case construction integrates the movement’s base plate as part of the structure, complemented by screwed-in, subtly asymmetrical lugs. Additionally, the light blue variant comes with a platinum bezel.

The dual-layer dial consists of a Grade 5 titanium base with an 18K gold top layer, finished in black or light blue. The layout includes central hours & minutes hands, and small seconds between 4 and 5 o’clock, along with a retrograde day-of-the-week display in Spanish.

Powering the watch is the in-house, hand-wound FVF2 calibre, composed of 247 parts and running at 21,600 vph (3Hz). The movement offers an 80-hour power reserve and showcases exceptional finishing, including hand-polished inward angles, black polishing, circular graining, micro-sandblasting, and hand-engraved inscriptions.

The watch is paired with a hand-sewn leather strap in black or blue, secured by a Grade 5 titanium pin buckle. The black dial version is part of the permanent collection, while the light blue variant is limited to just 8 pieces. Prices are set at CHF 85,000 / AED 343,000 for the standard model and CHF 90,000 / AED 363,300 for the limited edition.
