Swedish watchmaker Nezumi specializes in crafting luxury timepieces inspired by vintage automobiles. And now, to celebrate the label's 10th anniversary, the boutique brand has announced the launch of its first-ever mechanical chronograph model, dubbed the VM1S.
The new wristwatch outfits the brand's signature Voiture model with a Swiss-made Sellita SW510 Mb hand-wound motor. This compact movement allowed Nezumi to keep the Vioture's slender build while introducing a manual component. Moreover, the new watch continues the brand's penchant for race car-inspired designs, borrowing the auto-themed dial used on the original Voiture model.
Currently, Nezumi is offering the timepiece in three versions -- the VM1S.101, the VM1S.201, and VM1S.201 -- each of which will be limited to a total of 100 units.
