Laboratoire Colorama, the Pop watch by Hegid

Hegid, the French Maison of Evolutionary Watchmaking, is adding a touch of color to its range and introduces the Laboratoire Colorama; a new automatic watch with a chromatic curiosity, associated with pigmented, natural rubber straps.

Three years ago, Hegid introduced the patented EVOL® system, which allows its mechanical watches to be transformed in just a few seconds, while preserving their horological qualities. Today, the brand proposes to multiply its possibilities of configurations with the Laboratoire Colorama.

The Laboratoire Colorama watch features an index at 12 o'clock that can change color on demand mechanically, by turning the crown of the Capsule. Depending on one's mood, style and upcoming events, this colorful touch allows to the wearer differentiate moments and express messages. This Pop-inspired fantasy, combined with the luminescent indexes and hands, also enhances the readability of the sandwich dial.

The Laboratoire Carrure, with its Art Deco lines, opts for elegance and refinement. This quality makes it a perfect match for the various Capsules and straps of the catalog, each with their very distinct style. With an initial palette of 6 colors, the Liberté natural rubber straps with stitching, reinforce Hegid's chromatic bias.

The Capsules and Carrures of the Laboratoire Colorama collection are designed, manufactured and assembled in France, at the Swiss border, where the movements are produced. The Liberté straps are manufactured in Italian workshops.
