July of this year sees four years since the passing of Hannes Wettstein,world famous designer for Ventura.His work will be remembered for its simple classic designs ,coined " Micro Architecture" by the designer, he was responsible for the Alpha,Delta and Kappa models. The Sigma designed by Paolo Fancelli was used in the film Bangkok Dangerous and was also given personal approval from the actor Nicolas Cage.
All Ventura watches are hand made in Switzerland using in house modules ,and are produced in tiny numbers. They use some of the best materials available which have been hardened to produce very durable cases and bracelets. All have sapphire crystals.They are the ultimate digital watch.
Ventura dont make 10,000s but rather 10s and 100s of examples making them very exclusive,for example my Kappa has a serial number 00131. And weighs in at a feather light 64 grams.Your unlikley to meet anyone else with one!
I can highly recommend them all, and have found "Chronomaster" Tel 01942366211 in the UK to offer superb customer care. As a registered agent,Neil can order any model and deliver it to you. They can ,of course be ordered directly from Ventura.(thank you to Ventura for supplying me with the display stands)
The Alpha 2 W40 LTD an updated version of the Alpha 1 and designed by the Hannes Wettstein studio,oh yes and only 25 of these are made.Now thats exclusive!
And there you were thinking the Pulsar P1 was rare,makes it look mass produced in this company........................
