The Soul of Ichnos Diporto: The Peseux 7001 Élaboré

When designing a watch that aims to pay homage to the timeless beauty of Sardinia, every millimetre counts. For the Costiero and Diporto collections, the choice of movement was not accidental, but rather the result of an obsessive pursuit of balance between classic elegance, Swiss reliability, and slenderness.

1. The Charm of Manual Winding

In a world dominated by automation, Ichnos has chosen to return to ritual. Manually winding your watch every morning creates a physical bond between the object and its wearer. The Peseux 7001 is a hand-wound calibre that eliminates the oscillating weight, offering a purer connection between man and machine.

2. Record-Breaking Slenderness

One of the main reasons for this choice is the movement's architecture. With a thickness of only 2.50 mm, the Peseux 7001 allows the Costiero and Diporto to maintain an extremely thin profile despite their significant water resistance in marine depths.

• The Result: A watch that slips effortlessly under a cuff, maintaining exceptional comfort even on the hottest days or during the most dynamic activities, without sacrificing extreme diving specifications.

3. Élaboré Quality: Beyond the Standard

We know you are as demanding as we are, and we didn't want to settle for the basic version. The choice of the Élaboré finish guarantees superior standards:

• Precision: Regulated in three positions for more consistent timekeeping.
• Aesthetics: Carefully finished bridges, blued screws, and decorations that transform the movement into a small mechanical jewel.
• Reliability: A Swiss workhorse tested for decades, easy to service, and incredibly robust despite its small size.

4. Consistency with Ichnos Design

The Costiero and Diporto draw inspiration from "skin diver" watches without bezels and elegant timepieces from the 1950s and 1960s. In that era, slenderness was synonymous with technical mastery. Using the Peseux 7001 means respecting that aesthetic canon while ensuring the precision of a modern component.

5. A Choice of Distinction

While many microbrands resort to standard automatic movements or thicker, more common manual calibres, Ichnos has chosen a more refined path. Opting for the 7001 means raising the bar to appeal to an audience of enthusiasts who appreciate the clean lines of a dateless dial and the sleekness of a slim case.

Technical Curiosity: The Peseux 7001 is the same calibre that made history for very prestigious brands. Incorporating it into an Ichnos means placing the Costiero and Diporto within a noble watchmaking tradition.

Conclusion

The Peseux 7001 Élaboré is not just an engine; it is the choice for those who want a watch that doesn't shout, but whispers class. It is the perfect companion for those who experience the sea and land with the discreet yet decisive style that characterises the spirit of Ichnos.
