The new, daring addition to the PASCAL watch lineup is the PASCAL Paradoxe.
At first glance, it defies the logic of traditional watchmaking. It is asymmetrical, fluid, and unconventional. Yet, once on the wrist, it reveals its true nature: a watch that is surprisingly wearable and perfectly weighted. The Paradoxe was designed to redefine what "balance" looks like—proving that order doesn't always require symmetry.
Behind the PASCAL Paradoxe
The name "Paradoxe" was chosen for a reason. In a watch industry obsessed with perfect circles and rigid geometry, this timepiece represents a contradiction: it is chaotic in shape, yet disciplined in function.
PASCAL’s design philosophy has always been about architectural harmony, but with the Paradoxe, we asked a question: Can a distorted form still feel harmonious?
The answer is yes. By prioritizing proportion over trends, the PASCAL Paradoxe watch represents a modern interpretation of asymmetrical watch design that feels destined to become a classic.
Asymmetry, With Intention
The defining feature of the Paradoxe is its "melting" gold-tone case, which features a bezel that undulates with a textured, almost organic finish. This isn't just design for the sake of being different; it is design with intention. The dial follows this irregular flow, with oversized, stylized Arabic numerals that stretch and curve to fit the case's unique geography.
Despite the distortion, the legibility remains sharp. It creates a visual tension that draws the eye in, making it not just a tool for telling time, but a piece of kinetic art.
Dial Details: The Malachite Eye
The true centerpiece of the model shown above is the stunning central focal point. The Paradoxe features a marquise-shaped center, framing a slice of rich, green Malachite stone.
This deep green core creates a striking contrast against the cream dial and the gold-tone case. To elevate the design further, this central eye is haloed by a precision-set row of crystals, adding a layer of brilliance that catches the light with every movement.
This approach—using texture, stone, and light rather than clutter—is what separates a PASCAL design from the rest. It is a luxury watch with restrained design, using diamonds to guide the eye rather than overwhelm it.
A Case Designed for Everyday Wear
On paper, the dimensions might seem unusual: 30mm x 44mm. However, these numbers translate to a fit that is exceptionally ergonomic.
Because the case is elongated vertically rather than widened horizontally, the 30mm width ensures the watch sits slender on the wrist, avoiding the bulkiness often associated with statement watches. The 44mm length allows the case to curve gently, hugging the natural radius of the arm.
With 3 ATM water resistance, the Paradoxe is capable of handling the daily grind—accidental splashes and rain—while maintaining the profile of a sophisticated modern dress watch.
Swiss Quartz, Chosen for Precision
Inside the sculptural exterior beats a heart of Swiss precision. The Paradoxe is powered by the Swiss Ronda 751 quartz movement.
Why quartz? For a watch with such a slender, complex profile, a mechanical movement would have added unnecessary bulk and height. The Ronda 751 allows the Paradoxe to remain thin and elegant against the skin. Furthermore, it offers the "set it and forget it" reliability that modern life demands. It is a choice made not for compromise, but for the specific demands of the watch's silhouette.
The Strap: Secure and Sophisticated
The visual drama of the case is grounded by a classic 15mm black leather band. The strap features a subtle texture that complements the cream and gold tones of the head.
Unlike standard buckles that wear down leather over time, the Paradoxe is equipped with a folding clasp. This ensures a seamless look on the underside of the wrist and extends the life of the leather, making the watch feel secure and premium every time you snap it shut.
Designed to Stand Apart—Yet Fit In
The PASCAL Paradoxe is the ultimate conversation starter. It is designed for the boardroom, the gallery opening, and the evening cocktail hour.
It is distinct enough to be noticed across a dinner table, yet refined enough to slide under a blazer cuff. It is for the person who finds the standard round watch too safe—who wants their accessories to say something about their perspective.
A Modern Paradox, Worn Daily
The PASCAL Paradoxe balances the "contradiction" of being an art piece you can wear every day. It merges the irregularity of nature with the precision of Swiss engineering. It is bold, yet comfortable; asymmetrical, yet balanced.
It is a watch for those who understand that perfection isn't always found in a circle.
