The desire to achieve new goals, together with a constant research inspired by the past, have led Armand Nicolet to the creation of a new fantastic example of watch manufacturing.

After the huge success obtained by L06 and L07 models, Armand NICOLET introduce the new LS8. Following the footsteps of the two previous limited editions, the new LS8 features a wonderful manual wind mechanical movement called AN0711S.

It is a movement created with original components from 1957 that has subsequently been modified by the brand and gifted with newly evolved technological characteristics. The limited amount of watches produced relates to the quantity of original components from 1957 still available in the factory.
The movement has been integrated with the shock absorbent system called Incabloc and the Swan Neck mechanism of adjustment. This upgrade makes this movement a perfect mix of great Swiss mechanical tradition with the most modern techniques of watch-making. The 18,000 vibration per hour and 18 jewel calibre has been skeletonized, finely decorated with “Cote de Geneve” finishing and embellished by “Perlage”. Through the dial and the sapphire glass it’s possible to admire the beautiful skeletonized movement and the gold engravings reporting the reference number of every watch. Polished blue screws stand out in the splendid finishing of the rhodium plating of the plate and of the bridges. The “Guillochè” dial, now only a precious frame, shows the majority of the movement.
The new LS8 model will be produced in limited amounts of 600 pieces.
