Singer Heritage SR602 Watch: A living tribute to the Valjoux 236
The Singer Reimagined Heritage Piano Black, also known as the Singer Heritage SR602, pays tribute to the golden age of mechanical watchmaking. This exceptional piece embodies the philosophy of Singer Reimagined: blending contemporary design with iconic vintage movements.
At the heart of this timepiece is the Valjoux 236 caliber, a hand-wound chronograph movement featuring the legendary column wheel. Restored with the utmost care, this movement is much more than just a motor: it is a living testament to Swiss watchmaking history. Each Valjoux 236 used in the Heritage collection has been meticulously revised, ensuring both modern performance and period authenticity.
The Singer Heritage Piano Black captivates with its understated, elegant aesthetic, featuring a deep black dial reminiscent of the glossy lacquer of a concert piano. The polished stainless steel case, perfectly symmetrical counters, and refined details evoke the classic chronographs of the 1960s, while offering a contemporary interpretation of vintage style.
This watch is for discerning enthusiasts and collectors looking for a unique timepiece that combines the soul of a historic chronograph movement with a resolutely modern design. The Singer Heritage SR602 embodies the best of both worlds: the nobility of a vintage caliber and the excellence of contemporary independent manufacturing.
