In horology, we always hear about numbers. Hours of power reserve, vibrations per minute, number of components of the movement. Numbers convey concepts that take us into engineering. And these numbers often show the result of technical or aesthetic research, sometimes years of development. And that is also the case here. The new Aventi Wraith A15-01 Saphite Paraiba is about numbers, research and... the heart. Here are a few that tell the story.
1.65
Aventi thought sapphire glass, which many other brands use, was not good enough. It came up with something better. And in its search for an even more innovative and transparent material, it created Saphite, an innovative substance in which a crystalline structure has been created in a glass-like matrix. This increases scratch resistance, durability and transparency. Saphite also has a refractive index of only 1.65 compared to 1.76 of sapphire glass. This means that more light passes through a Saphite surface, resulting in less distortion for a more natural and clearer image.
Moreover, Saphite can be coloured in thousands of different shades - something impossible with traditional sapphire glass. The delicate Paraiba blue, reminiscent of the colour of tourmalines mined in the Brazilian region of the same name, is the first example of Saphite technology and the potential of this innovative material.
So the Aventi Wraith A15-01 Saphite Paraiba case looks like a jewel: 124 vertices and 92 faces, individually polished with great skill, to internally contain something even more precious: a revolutionary calibre.
18
Since its introduction by Abraham Louis Breguet in 1801, the tourbillon has been a dream for countless lovers of high-end watches. And over time, this highly exclusive complication has been a challenge with which all the major Maisons have competed.
One of the characteristics of the tourbillon is its complexity, which makes it delicate and extremely expensive. This is why Aventi has created an optimised tourbillon consisting of... only 18 elements, as opposed to around 40 from other manufacturers.
It is the crown jewel of the GT-01S manufactory calibre, in Grade 5 black titanium, made and assembled in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Thanks to this breakthrough in minimalism, the transmission of energy is smoother, and there is less room for error in assembly and operation. As a result, the timepieces achieve outstanding precision. Master watchmaker Olivier Mory meticulously adjusts each watch to achieve a result of +4/-4 seconds a day.
7+7
A careful eye for detail is well represented by this number: two times seven. Indeed, this is the number of layers of anti-reflective treatment applied to the sapphire glass that protects the dial. There are seven layers on the outside surface and seven on the inside.
This provides a clear, sharp and reflection-free view of the dial and allows someone to observe, besides the time, the fine finishes of the openwork movement that does its job in this mechanical and aesthetic showpiece. And of course admire the dial, decorated with a guilloche pattern of small shiny black pyramids with an accuracy of up to 0.01 mm.
1800
The strap on which this remarkable watch hangs is made of the world's most high-tech rubber. This material, used for special applications in the automotive and aerospace industries, is 80% denser than traditional rubber, feels natural and good on the wrist and gives the watch excellent wearability, thanks in part to the steel and titanium buckle that accompanies it.

Aventi proposes a different way of looking at exclusivity. Earlier, the word 'heart' came up briefly, and this is the heart of Aventi: a team that loves what it does and wants to propose a new way of looking at traditional watchmaking. No longer just as a piece of jewellery or an investment, but as a sign of connection. Those charmed by what they saw and read above - and there are many more aspects of the Aventi Wraith A15-01 Saphite Paraiba waiting to be discovered - should know that this watch will be exclusive, but not for everyone. Aventi carefully chooses the people who can wear it: people who share its own values of courage, vision, autonomy and freedom.
That is why Aventi will never issue a Limited Edition of any of its timepieces, but only a few people will be able to receive this watch, which is not only an object, but more importantly the symbol of a shared vision.
About Aventi
Aventi is a new concept in luxury watchmaking. It is a company that makes luxury watches without a factory or a network of retailers. Instead, it simply organises itself around the greatest talents to combine them and produce watches of exceptional quality. Aventi's watches are an expression of this philosophy: they are new, unconventional, and driven by a passion for research that is hard to match. So whoever buys a timepiece from Aventi is choosing all this, And not just an instrument to measure time.
