GOOD TO KNOW
• Prototype example of the KWH wristwatch made in collaboration with Shanghainese watch dealers Woo Hoo Time
• Collaboration between Chinese watch manufacture Behrens and legendary independent watchmaker Vianney Halter, inspired by the design of vintage electricity meters
• Virtually-new, unworn condition, with a playful periwinkle blue and light pink livery
GPHG nominee Behrens has started to make its impact within the horological community since 2019 with their conservatively priced but high-end and avant garde timepieces. With the “KWH” wristwatch, they joined forces with Star Trek aficionado and legendary independent watchmaker Vianney halter to create a retro technology-inspired timepiece derived from vintage electricity meters. KWH stands for “kilowatt hours”, which measured the amount of electricity used by a household, and are objects collected by both Mr. Halter and the founder of Behrens, Mr. Lin Binquiang.
This color-way of periwinkle blue and pink is a summery, playful take on the KWH, cased in transparent periwinkle anti-reflective sapphire, a unique take on the KWH in partnership with Shanghainese watch dealers, WooHoo Time. The specific color combination draws inspiration from French artist André Brasilier’s painting Petit parc le soir (2002). The sapphire material of the case renders it both scratch resistant and extremely light. The movement architecture reflects the industrial nature of the case. Aluminum drums on either side of the movement display the power reserve indicators and a day/night indicator.
It’s an inspired, complex, and whimsical wristwatch whose intricate structure belies how straightforward the complications are. It is the auction debut of this reference, and the first WooHoo Time limited edition to appear anywhere on the market. Though released in a limited series of 25 pieces, the movement and dial of this specific example are both engraved “Proto”, highlighting its uniqueness. In like-new condition, it is an exciting addition to a growing number of highly original independent watches.
