The Latest Models, Two Years in the Making
First introduced in 1978, the Koppel watch garnered attention for its innovative design. Its understated style remains timeless, exuding a unique presence even today.
The latest iteration of the Koppel watch wasBaselworld 2015announced at. Georg Jensen partnered with two movement manufacturers, dedicating two years to develop and present three new collections.
The "Koppel Mechanical Small Seconds," powered by a manual-winding movement (ETA7001), thoughtfully incorporates elements of the original model's design. The simple small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock is exquisitely refined.
The "Koppel GMT Power Reserve," equipped with a world timer function, is distinguished by its sub-dial at 6 o'clock displaying local time. A power reserve indicator is positioned at 12 o'clock. The movement was developed in partnership with Swiss movement manufacturer Soprod.
The "Koppel Grand Date Annual Calendar" in an 18K gold case exemplifies Danish contemporary design with its unadorned beauty. Its annual calendar complication, a sophisticated function, utilizes a movement from the prominent Swiss manufacturer Dubois Dépraz. The date at 12 o'clock and the month at 8 o'clock require adjustment only once a year, automatically displaying thereafter. A sub-dial at 5 o'clock indicates the seconds.
