Mauron Musy, in collaboration with Arturo Tedeschi, introduces two final evolutions of its ARCHITECT timepiece: the Architect of Golden Cosmos MU05-109 and the Architect of Golden Oasis MU05-110. Following the immediate sell-out of the original ARCHITECT in 2025, these new models mark the conclusion of the project. The release is strictly limited to 37 pieces worldwide, with no re-edition planned.
At its heart, the ARCHITECT remains unchanged. It is a watch defined by geometry, where form is central and intentional. What evolves in these new versions is the dialogue between that structure and the materials used to shape it.
Both timepieces explore a contrast. On one side, there is micron-level precision achieved through advanced engineering and CNC machining. On the other hand, there are materials like gold and meteorite, each inherently irregular and shaped by forces beyond human control. This tension is the defining feature of the new models.
Golden Cosmos: A Celestial Material
The Architect of Golden Cosmos features a dial made from Muonionalusta meteorite, estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old. Each dial is unique, with natural crystalline patterns formed over millions of years in space. Its surface is sandblasted, giving it a raw, almost concrete-like texture that reinforces the architectural theme.
Arturo Tedeschi frames this contrast as a meeting point between design and origin. Gold and meteorite are not treated as decorative elements. They carry their own history, formed long before modern craftsmanship. In these watches, they are allowed to retain their natural qualities. The Architect of Golden Cosmos uses meteorite to introduce dark, unpredictable textures.
Golden Oasis: Light, Depth, and Gold
The Architect of Golden Oasis takes a different direction. It features a deep blue dial with a sunburst effect, combined with hand-cast 18K gold elements. The gold is formed through a process involving algorithmic design, additive manufacturing, and casting. The result is a surface that reflects light in a fluid, almost organic way.
In both models, 18K gold plays a central role. The process begins with a digitally generated form, followed by mold creation and casting, resulting in a sculptural gold component integrated into the dial.
Despite their material differences, both watches share the same architectural language. Geometry remains constant, and materials are allowed to express their natural qualities without being forced into uniformity. Color is not added but emerges directly from the material itself.
This approach also reshapes the role of manufacturing. CNC machining is not used to dominate the material but to work with it. The process becomes interpretive, guiding the final form without removing the material’s intrinsic character.
At the mechanical level, both models are powered by the MM01-SK caliber. This in-house automatic movement is designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in Switzerland. It features 157 components, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a 55-hour power reserve. The movement follows an open architecture, with no decorative elements used to hide its structure.
Case and nO-Ring® Technology
The case is made from Grade 5 titanium, measuring 44mm in diameter and 13mm thick. It incorporates Mauron Musy’s patented nO-Ring® technology, a fully mechanical water-resistance system that eliminates the need for gaskets, glue, or screws. Instead, it uses 36 precision components to ensure water resistance up to 300 meters, while avoiding maintenance issues caused by material aging.
The Architect of Golden Cosmos is limited to 27 pieces, while the Architect of Golden Oasis is limited to 10 pieces. Each watch is stamped “Swiss Crafted,” indicating that 100% of its components are designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland.
With the Architect of Golden Cosmos and Golden Oasis, Mauron Musy and Arturo Tedeschi extend the original vision of the ARCHITECT without altering its essence. The geometry remains constant, but the meaning evolves. These watches are a controlled framework through which unpredictable, time-bearing materials are allowed to speak.
