A striking Flytrack from Singer Reimagined X Perpétuel

Singer Reimagined is about finding new ways to improve functionality and articulate an original and innovative design language. The encounter between Marco Borraccino, the Managing Director and co-founder of the brand, with Hamdan Bin Humaid Al Hudaidi and Melika Yazdjerdi, co-founders of Perpétuel, planted the seed for a remarkable take on the Singer Reimagined Flytrack

The Singer Reimagined FlyTrack captures the functionality of a flyback chronograph in a truly original way. Its central sweep-seconds hand can be zeroed and restarted immediately by releasing the pusher at 2 o’clock. This lets you restart timing quickly without needing to go through the traditional sequence of start-stop-reset.

The movement lets you measure short time-based events as many times as you wish without interfering with the watch’s timekeeping. It can also be used to zero-reset your watch time, ensuring precise and practical time setting. Last, for optimal legibility, the hours can be read on a rotating disc encircling the dial.

Injecting its personality into Flytrack, Perpétuel has opted for a matte green dial paired with a circular-brushed golden flange. The “Flytrack” seconds hand works in conjunction with a pulsometer scale printed with golden Eastern Arabic numerals and graduated for 15 pulsations to quickly measure one’s heart rate. Push the button, count 15 beats and read your heart rate from the scale. At the dial’s periphery, the hour disc also features Eastern Arabic numerals set against a black ceramic aluminum background. The different time indications stand out in orange, ensuring enhanced legibility and a modern touch.

The stylish barrel-shaped 316L stainless steel case has a 43mm diameter and features a thin, round bezel. Its dynamic yet elegant shape is accented with alternating polished and brushed finishes and is softy curved for enhanced ergonomics. Positioned at 2 and 4 o’clock, the pusher and the crown are made of ZRN gold colour-coated titanium. The individual limited-edition number of each watch is indicated by the 18-carat gold plate applied on the case. The water-resistance is rated 10 ATM / 100 meters.

Turning the watch over, the exhibition caseback offers a view of the hand-wound Singer AG6364 calibre. Comprising 314 components, this superb movement is derived from the mighty Agengraphe calibre. It runs at 3 Hz, and its two barrels can store 72 hours of power reserve. The movement finishes include Geneva stripes, perlage, beautiful anglage and meticulously polished jewel sinks.

Released in an exclusive run of 10 watches only, the Singer Reimagined Flytrack Perpétuel Limited Edition is worn on a green textile strap matching the colour of the dial. It is secured by a steel folding clasp released by a pair of pushers.
