Awake Son Mai Frosted Leaf Royal Red: A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

Experience Timeless Artistry: Awake's Royal Red Frosted Leaf Edition

The Elegant Case Design: A Testament to Sustainable Craftsmanship

The timepiece boasts a 39mm case meticulously fashioned from recycled stainless steel, maintaining the signature clean lines found across all Son Mai models, including the recent Frosted Leaf variations. It showcases a harmonious blend of polished and satin finishes, complemented by gracefully curved lugs. With a height of 11.8mm (or 10.9mm without the crystal), the case is equipped with sapphire crystals on both the front and back, ensuring durability and clarity. Furthermore, it offers water resistance up to 50 meters, combining aesthetic appeal with practical resilience.

The Frosted Leaf Royal Red Dial: A Symphony of Culture and Innovation

Drawing inspiration from ancient Asian ceremonial artifacts and the powerful interplay of red and gold, this watch reinterprets the art of Vietnamese Son Mai lacquerware through a novel iteration of the Frosted Leaf technique. For the first time, the dial's uppermost layer is intricately composed of pure silver leaf, delicately infused with copper pigments. This innovative approach reverses conventional layering, allowing light to interact directly with the materials, resulting in a mesmerizing, organic texture. The dial radiates with deep crimson hues and a warm metallic sheen, offering a contemporary expression of vitality, wisdom, and the passage of time. The applied hour markers and hands, coated with polished steel over a Super-LumiNova base, provide a striking backlit effect in low light conditions, enhancing readability and visual appeal.

Precision and Endurance: The La Joux-Perret G101 Movement

At the heart of the watch lies the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and an impressive power reserve of 68 hours. This sophisticated mechanism is further distinguished by a bespoke tungsten rotor, adorned with brushed and micro-beaded finishes, and intricately engraved with details pertinent to the collection, embodying both mechanical excellence and artistic detail.

Luxury and Comfort: The Handcrafted Strap and Availability

The watch is elegantly paired with a handmade red suede calfskin strap, expertly crafted in France by Maison Bouveret. This strap features a rubberized leather lining for enhanced comfort and durability, along with tone-on-tone stitching and a recycled steel pin buckle. A quick-release system allows for easy interchangeability. This exclusive Frosted Leaf Royal Red edition is limited to just 100 pieces, priced at EUR 2,200 (excluding taxes). Deliveries are planned in two phases: 50 pieces in January 2026 and the remaining 50 in April 2026, offering collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece of this exquisite craftsmanship.
