PASCAL Oval: Soft Geometry and Sculpted Elegance

In an era dominated by sharp lines, aggressive angles, and exaggerated proportions, the PASCAL Oval prioritizes curves over corners and proportion over excess. It is the definition of "quiet luxury"—a watch designed not to shout for attention, but to hold it.

Behind the PASCAL Oval

The oval silhouette occupies a unique space in watchmaking history. It is not new, yet it remains a rarity in a saturated with round utility watches and square smartwatches.

We chose this shape for the PASCAL Oval because it bridges the gap between structure and flow. It is softer than a rectangle but more dynamic than a perfect circle. As part of the PASCAL design language, the Oval serves as a sophisticated extension of our core philosophy. It sits between the strict rationality of the Timeless collection and the artistic daring of the Paradoxe.

The PASCAL Oval watch represents a modern interpretation of the oval watch silhouette—one that feels vintage in spirit but modern in execution.

Why Oval? A Study in Soft Geometry

The distinct visual advantage of an oval watch is its lack of aggression. There are no sharp corners to dig into the wrist or catch on a cuff. By elongating the north-south axis, the soft geometry watch naturally slims the profile of the wrist, creating an elegant, continuous line that round watches simply cannot replicate.

This fluidity makes the Oval the ultimate modern dress watch. It feels substantial enough to be a centerpiece, yet discreet enough to slip seamlessly into your daily rhythm.

A Case Shaped for Balance

The dimensions of the PASCAL Oval—24mm x 30mm—are a masterclass in restraint.

This is not an oversized statement piece; it is a refined accessory. The case proportions are designed to hug the anatomy of the wrist. The polished gold-tone bezel catches the light along its curves, creating a "sculpted" effect that looks less like a machine and more like a piece of fine jewelry.

The contrast between the smooth, rounded bezel and the structured lugs creates a refined watch silhouette that feels perfectly weighted—light on the skin, but heavy in character.

Dial Design: Calm, Legible, Intentional

Because the shape of the case is so distinct, the dial is designed with intentional calm.

The cream-colored face features classic Arabic numeral hour markers, providing a nod to vintage horology. But the true modernity lies in the details. Notice the elegant, blue-steel style hands—a subtle pop of color that contrasts beautifully against the warm gold tones.

With an inner minute track and subtle diamond accents at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, the dial balances luxury with legibility. It emphasizes verticality, drawing the eye up and down rather than around, reinforcing the elongating effect of the case.

A Distinctive Pairing: Color & Strap

A watch is only as good as what keeps it on your wrist. The PASCAL Oval shown here is paired with a 15mm green leather band.

The texture of the leather adds depth to the smooth metal of the case, while the deep emerald green offers a sophisticated alternative to standard black or brown. Finished with a secure pin buckle, the strap is designed to soften with wear, molding to your wrist over time for a custom fit. This combination of gold and green is a classic pairing that feels fresh in a modern context.

Modern Precision Inside

Powered by a Swiss Ronda 762 quartz movement, the Oval is a two-hand watch designed for precision. We chose this movement for its slim profile—allowing the case to remain sleek—and its low-maintenance nature. This is a watch that is always ready to go, requiring no daily winding to keep its rhythm.

Designed for Everyday Elegance

The PASCAL Oval is the "fail-safe" of your wardrobe.

It is polished enough for a boardroom presentation, artistic enough for a gallery visit, and understated enough for a casual dinner. While many dress watches feel out of place with jeans and a t-shirt, the PASCAL Oval adapts. It elevates casual wear and complements formal wear.
