The Tzoumy Genève project features the distinctive pentagonal design invented by Yvan Monnet to overflow from his eponymous brand to reach a more affordable segment. This is their first campaign, but I wouldn't foresee any issues backing this one.

Swiss watchmaker Yvan Monnet spent his career working for Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, some of the finest Swiss Watch Manufactures. In 2016, he designed the world first Pentagonal watch and produced a very exclusive series of hand-decorated timepieces, entirely crafted within the neighbors workshops.
In June 2020, Yvan met Gerrit Spalteholz during an afterwork event. That encounter would later give birth to an ambitious idea: Since Yvan already did some very exclusive watches, they would redesign together the Pentagonal watch to share an affordable fine-watchmaking piece with the largest community.
The Tzoumy is available in five colorways - Cobalt Blue, Opalin, Denim, Melon, and Anthracite.
The second hand color and minute indexes can also be chosen between 3 different finishings: Rhodium, Denim Blue or Cobalt Blue.
