Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar luxury cheap watches Ref. 5212A-012: A Special Anniversary Edition from Jeweler KUTTER 1825

 

To celebrate its 200th anniversary, Stuttgart-based jeweler KUTTER 1825 has collaborated with several renowned manufacturers to create a series of special edition watches. Among them is the exquisite Calatrava Weekly Calendar Special Edition, a collaboration with Patek Philippe, commemorating their 75-year partnership.

I find it hard to imagine what 1925 was like, but imagining 1825 is almost dizzying. It wasn't just a span of two world wars; it was the beginning of a completely different era. Modern Germany had not yet formed; the German Empire wasn't established until 1871. In 1825, we only know a few famous figures from history books: Napoleon had just died on St. Helena; Ludwig van Beethoven was still alive. In the United States, John Quincy Adams was elected the sixth president in 1825. At that time, the United States was much smaller and still divided. In fact, it was only half its current size: Texas, Florida, and California joined the Union in 1845 and 1850, respectively.best replica watches

Even Patek Philippe, one of the main subjects of this article, was founded 14 years later by two Polish nobles exiled to Geneva. News at the time was mostly about royalty, so it's not surprising that Patek Philippe's founder, Friedrich Bader, was the court watchmaker for the King of Baden-Württemberg. Ernst Kutter, his son-in-law, took over the jewelry store in 1856.

KUTTER 1825 has been an officially authorized Patek Philippe dealer since 1950. Two years ago, construction began on a brand new Patek Philippe collaboration store. Alexander Kaden stated, “The new store spans approximately 400 square meters across two floors, blending Patek Philippe’s design philosophy with our collaboration with Karolina Curic Architekten. KUTTER 1825’s interior design has won numerous awards, including the German Design Award and the Inhorgenta Award.” Felix Möhrle added, “The entire space creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, with the upstairs bar being a highlight in itself.” It’s not only an ideal venue for daytime and evening events, but also a perfect spot for us to enjoy coffee and conversation, which is personally prepared for us by our future owners. swiss replica watches

KUTTER 1825 sells Patek Philippe watches and jewelry: a one-stop shop for all your needs.

The “KUTTER 1825 Atelier” store officially opened in 2023. The use of the word "Atelier" (studio) is deliberate, as Alexander Kaden explains: "We see a unique connection between Patek Philippe's exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship and our goldsmithing workshop. At KUTTER 1825, we also have the complete value chain of jewelry making, even including our own gem setters. Our motto is 'Unique, Made for You.'" Through the glass-walled goldsmithing workshop, customers can witness the jewelry creation process firsthand. It is also the world's first store to combine Patek Philippe watches with a jeweler's own brand. Felix Möhrle considers this "a perfect fusion of two exquisite crafts."replica replica Zenith Pilot watches

Another debut: A limited edition of 20 watches to commemorate the anniversary

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the KUTTER 1825 brand and the 75th anniversary of its collaboration with Geneva watchmakers, the luxury jeweler is proud to launch a special edition Calatrava weekly calendar watch. This new Calatrava Weekly Calendar watch is a limited edition, model number 5212A-012. Alexander Kaden and Felix Möhrle are incredibly proud of it and consider it a great honor. They also see it as a continuation of a long-standing tradition. Alexander Kaden stated, “In the past, the dial would typically bear the name of the jeweler, not the manufacturer, as we see in the Ernst Kutter Museum.”

“This has never happened in the history of Kutter 1825,” Felix Möhrle added proudly, “but precisely because we haven’t done anything like this in the past 75 years, we are naturally even more delighted to collaborate with Patek Philippe on this anniversary timepiece.” Alexander Kaden added, “Today, anniversary watches are no longer commonplace for watchmakers, but rather released only on special occasions – and this 75th anniversary collaboration with Patek Philippe, coinciding with our company’s 200th anniversary, is a perfect match.” replica Jacob and Co.

The Calatrava Weekly Calendar watch is a special timepiece. The movement was first introduced by Patek Philippe in 2019. Swisswatches interviewed the two designers, asking them why they chose this watch. Alexander Carden explained, “We wanted a watch that was uniquely Patek Philippe: a complicated timepiece with distinctive functions, yet also a practical watch suitable for everyday wear.” Based on this, Patek Philippe ultimately conceived the Calatrava 5212A model. Even more delightful was their incorporation of the signature color of their jewelry brand, amoo, into the dial and strap, paying homage to the collaboration between the two brands. So, what is this color called? Felix Mohrle added, “The dial color doesn’t have an official name, but we call it ice blue.”
