The removal of the automatic winding mechanism enhances the eye-catching open work of the watch.
Artisans de Genève is known for its outstanding watch personalized design, and recently completed the Armstrong Challenge for athlete and cyclist Lance Armstrong. As the founder of the LIVESTRONG Foundation, Armstrong found Artisans de Genève and asked to add retro function reference 116520 to his Rolex Cosmograph Daytona at the same time very lightweight. According to the Swiss customization studio, “Through the'ARMSTRONG' project, he wanted to return to the essence of the original timepiece, while adding elements of his personal story. Lance's personalization incorporates retro functions: pulse, winding mechanism and innovative design. Lance naturally chose black and yellow as a tribute to his inspiration and career. The hollow cut was the inspiration for his past life, and it was also a gift from a close friend he wanted to save."
