Artisans de Genève has reinterpreted the Rolex Submariner 116610 into a unique, bespoke creation called the “Brown Ice.” After successfully transforming a Rolex GMT-Master II into an adventurous worldtimer, Artisans de Genève brings a fresh perspective to another iconic Rolex model.
A Unique Aesthetic Inspired by Nature
The “Brown Ice” features a beautiful combination of brown and icy blue hues, drawing inspiration from serene settings. The design evokes the feel of polished mahogany wood, tranquil lakes, and runabout boats. According to the client, I.S.L., “Wearing this watch makes me feel the same freedom I experience while navigating. Brown Ice captures my individuality, adventurous spirit, connection to water, and my passion for craftsmanship.”
Intricate Design and Craftsmanship
The dial of this bespoke watch is skeletonized, showcasing the finely crafted movement inside. The movement is sandblasted, palladium-treated, and carefully balanced for both strength and fragility. Each element is hand-cut, beveled, and polished, revealing the detailed inner workings of the watch. The ice-blue dial, blued hour markers, sapphire date disc, and translucent sapphire case create a mesmerizing effect, with light playing across the layers.
This remarkable timepiece is another testament to Artisans de Genève’s mastery of combining Rolex’s timeless design with personalized artistry. The “Brown Ice” edition blends elegance with adventure, offering a one-of-a-kind watch that goes beyond mere functionality.
