Cimier Petite Seconde Venom

Cimier Petite Seconde Venom

Among all Cimier models, their 1961 collection consists of a number of true masterpieces. And the new Cimier Petite Seconde Venom (Ref.: 6102-BP021) model is one of the most interesting in this series.


Created together with Jorg Stiel, who played as a goalkeeper for the Swiss national soccer team, this eclectic watch combines constrained elegance of the dial with screaming luxury of the yellow python strap.

The contrast is further enhanced with the yellow-painted hour, minute and small-second hands with the latter positioned rather unusually at 10 o’clock, like it is the case with the rest of the Petite Seconde family.

The winding crown is located at 4 o’clock, making the watch wear more comfortably.

The watch is powered by the good old Unitas 6497 hand-wound pocket watch caliber, so Cimier’s designers were forced to make the watch rather large. According to official specs, its round case measures 43 mm in diameter.

However, the movement is nicely decorated making it a real pleasure to look at.

Waste the original “genuine python” leather strap in favor of a black alligator or may be even black rubber and you will have yourself a gorgeous piece of luxury at an affordable price of €1560.

The series is limited to only 200 units.
