Gravity: the new mechanical signature of Maison Tellus

Since 1926, in the hushed atmosphere of Swiss workshops, Maison Tellus has been shaping time with rare devotion. Each timepiece emerging from its ateliers is a mark of craftsmanship passed down through generations, a living tribute to the noblest aspects of Swiss watchmaking. More than a watchmaker, Tellus represents a philosophy of time — where every second becomes the texture of a miniature work of art.

Far from fleeting trends, the Swiss house cultivates purity, precision, and thoughtful innovation. It doesn’t merely follow time — it shapes it, with the quiet confidence of those who know their path. This pursuit of balance between heritage and contemporary vision has given rise to iconic collections such as Arès, Diamanta, Stormer, and Discoverer — names that evoke the power of the elements and the quest for perfect craftsmanship.

It is within this demanding context, nourished by an ongoing dialogue between past and future, that Gravity was born — the latest addition to the 2025 Tellus watch collection. The Gravity stands out for its rarity: limited to just 50 pieces, making it a highly coveted timepiece. The signature Parentheses design is a strong identity marker that makes a Tellus watch instantly recognizable.

Building upon this Parentheses design (common to nearly all our collections), we’ve developed a version with an open-worked movement. Bold and deeply respectful of its roots, this creation embodies the new mechanical signature of the brand — crafted for those seeking more than a timepiece: an emotion worn on the wrist.

Gravity: A Watch That Defies the Laws of Time

Gravity does more than measure time — it reveals it. With its open-architecture dial, it draws the eye into the intimate workings of the mechanical movement, allowing one to observe every beat of its horological heart. Here, gravity is not a weight — but an attraction. The kind that comes from the beauty of a controlled mechanism and the finely orchestrated balance of transparency, depth, and symmetry.

Its contemporary design remains faithful to Maison Tellus’ aesthetic heritage: refined lines, delicate craftsmanship, and a strong visual presence without ostentation. Every component is designed to interact with light — from the sapphire crystal to the visible bridges with their satin finishes that gently capture the gaze.

Gravity already holds the aura of a timeless piece. It will appeal to discerning collectors as well as aesthetes attuned to mechanical beauty — which it reveals with elegant restraint.

Technical Features in the Service of Precision

Beneath its refined aesthetic, the Gravity houses a concentration of Swiss technology, remaining faithful to the DNA of Maison Tellus. It is powered by a high-precision automatic movement, entirely designed and assembled in Switzerland.

Its dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, is treated with a double-sided anti-reflective coating, ensuring perfect readability in any condition. Every part of the mechanism is visible thanks to the transparent dial — a discreet invitation to admire the moving balance wheel, the very breath of the watch.

A Unique Sensory Experience: Where Material Meets Light

Wearing the Gravity is an experience that goes beyond the luxury of a precious object. From the very first moment, the eye is drawn to the depth of the dial, the finesse of its finishing, and the subtle interplay of reflections across polished and brushed surfaces.

A unique feature of the Gravity is its pentagon-shaped screws, placed on the sides of the Parentheses — a nod to the brand’s original logo, also featured on the back of the watch via the sapphire caseback. Light, filtered through the crystal, brushes across the movement components like a painter’s touch — revealing a curve here, a metallic gleam there.

This is not merely a watch to be seen — it is meant to be discovered. Every angle offers a new perspective, every wrist movement alters perception. The balanced weight of the case, the tactile harmony of the integrated bracelet, the smooth crown action during manual winding — all these details contribute to a refined sensory relationship, crafted for wearers who appreciate artisanal excellence.

An Intimate Connection Between Object and Owner

There’s a unique intimacy in the Gravity that few timepieces can replicate. It quickly becomes an extension of the self — a personal object that goes unnoticed through its comfort, yet is deeply missed in its absence. This connection is forged through detail: the fluid motion of each hand across the dial, the stability and reassurance it offers.

By blending haute horlogerie with emotional resonance, Gravity enters a rare tradition: that of objects that tell stories and reflect our own.
