Awake Son Mai Silver Leaf Golden Hour Limited Edition Automatic – SMGH25AW
The Awake Sơn Mài Silver Leaf Golden Hour Limited Edition is a remarkable expression of artistic watchmaking, created in a strictly limited series of only 100 pieces. Born from Awake’s continuous exploration of new techniques and creative expression, this captivating dial draws inspiration from the iconic “vignette” or smoky gradient dials of the 1970s and 1980s. In photography, the vignette effect subtly darkens the outer edges of an image, naturally drawing the eye toward the illuminated center. Awake reinterprets this visual phenomenon through a meticulous 10-hour handcrafting process, where delicate pigment transitions and carefully layered lacquer create an extraordinary sense of depth, guiding the gaze to the heart of the dial.
At the center of this creation lies the ancient Vietnamese lacquer technique known as Sơn Mài, a demanding artisanal practice perfected over centuries. The lacquer itself is derived from the sap of the Rhus verniciflua tree, which grows in northern Vietnam and yields only small quantities after years of growth. Once purified, this precious material becomes a transparent lacquer celebrated for its remarkable brilliance and protective qualities. Master artisans patiently apply and polish multiple layers of lacquer, integrating delicate sheets of pure silver leaf that lend the dial its vibrant texture and luminous reflections. Natural pigments are then introduced, creating captivating color gradients that reveal extraordinary visual depth beneath the polished surface.
The watch is housed in a refined 39mm case crafted from recycled 316L stainless steel, measuring just 11.8mm thick and protected by a sapphire crystal. Inside beats the reliable Swiss La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, delivering an impressive 68-hour power reserve. Completing the piece is a beautifully handcrafted strap produced by master saddlers in Bouveret, Switzerland, ensuring exceptional comfort and durability.
With its handcrafted dial, exclusive luminous signature, and refined Swiss mechanics, this limited-edition creation reflects Awake’s dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and emotion—an elegant tribute to the enduring beauty of traditional artistry brought into contemporary watchmaking.
