a.b.art German Minimalist Racing Team Triple Chronograph - Black & Red OC450SB

About a.b.art Swiss Made Watches Germanic Roots in Swiss Watchmaking Craftsmanship • Understated Elegance in German Aesthetics Brand Story and Development: a.b.art watches originated in 1991 in the small southern German town of Freiburg, focusing on the design trends of minimalist aesthetics and functionalism. This was combined with Switzerland's century-long tradition of pursuing high-quality watchmaking. As the brand name a.b.art watches (authentic and basic watch) suggests, it aims to convey a watchmaking art style of "precise quality" and "simple, unpretentious" to every wearer. In its early days, a.b.art watches were sold only in Germany and Switzerland. To accommodate the rapidly growing global sales volume, the brand was integrated into the independent watch factory Fashiontime Ltd. in Biel, Switzerland, in 2003. This company has since been responsible for product manufacturing and sales. To date, a.b.art watches' business has expanded worldwide. Milestones: 1999: The a.b.art A101 received the Form '99 Federal Craft Association award in Germany and was acquired for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. 2007: a.b.art watches' quality received significant recognition, becoming a member of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry. 2009: The a.b.art O101 won the red dot design award in Germany. 2010: The a.b.art O101 was nominated for the German Design Award. 2010: The a.b.art OA102 received the international GOOD DESIGN Award.
