Milus Herios Automatic
Masculine elegance in a powerful design
On the occasion of Inhorgenta Europe 2006, the long-time-established Swiss watchmaker Milus presented for the first time the new HERIOS Automatic collection with exclusive watch face variations as an exceptionally stylish complement to the classic HERIOS wind-up line. Once again, the timepieces, which have been designed with absolute perfection and love for detail, prove how elegantly attributes such as power, spirited dynamism and technical precision complement each other.
Masculine, striking and exceptionally elegant: the Milus HERIOS line is named after Hercules, the heroic son of the God Zeus – a symbol for courage, endurance and strength. These characteristics unite the legendary hero and the men's wristwatch line which plays with various shapes in a subtle and sophisticated manner.
Unbounded creativity and utmost attention to detail in the manufacturing are reflected in the new HERIOS automatic models. Their case design has an unmistakable presence and is especially striking: the powerful square case – in either 18-carat pink gold or stainless steel – with its large spirited form, frames the exquisitely designed watch face. Attractively light and bursting with dynamism, the faces are available in a range of colour nuances and material compositions. The theme which runs through all versions is that of curved Arabic numeral appliqués and indices that appear to rise up magically from the case, the Milus logo as well as the prominently positioned circular window at 6 o'clock for the small second hand. The convex sapphire crystal completes the watches playful yet powerful design.
Pure black forms the watch face background for the HERIOS Automatic 18-carat pink gold; a particularly attractive accent is formed by the square guilloched zone in anthracite, which perfectly accentuates the pink gold-coloured numerals. The Milus logo, the skeleton hour and minutes hands as well as the seconds hand in a separate window are also in pink gold colour and create a harmonious entity with the case. For the HERIOS Automatic Stainless Steel, the watch face comes in elegant black with a lighter, square zoning together with silver-coloured Arabic numerals and appliqués.
The skeleton hour and minute hands untiringly rotate over the high-quality Swiss movement with automatic winding whose dependable mechanism can be seen through the curved, screw-type sapphire crystal back. Thanks to its curved shape, the case fits comfortably on any wrist and forms a harmonious combination with the superior alligator leather, available in either black or brown.
With the HERIOS Automatic, Milus has once again created a masterpiece of the Swiss watchmaker's art that unites ultimate charisma and perfection in an unmistakable manner.
