Dazzling Displays: The New Awake Son Mai Guilloché Main Collection Combines Traditional Crafts

​@awake9291 #AwakeWatches #MONOCHROMEwatches In just a few short years, the indie brand Awake Watches has carved out a very interesting path for itself, and found a solid connection with enthusiasts and collectors. In 2024, celebrating the brand's fifth anniversary, founder Lilian Thibault introduced the Son Maí collection, which used an ancient Vietnamese lacquering technique to create a range of artisanal dials with an incredible sense of depth and colour. This Son Maí Guilloché Main collection expands on that concept by bringing two traditional decorative techniques together on a single dial: Son Maí lacquering and hand-applied Guilloché. With the Alba, Borealis and Sunset editions, Awake explores the colour spectrum through vibrant tones of red, green and purple, shifting to yellow, orange and pink, with each carrying a distinctly different guilloché pattern. But that's not all, as the new collection also introduces a slightly smaller and subtly updated design for the stainless steel case, as well as dial-matching handmade Nubuck leather straps with an adjustable pin buckle!
