Well, well, well…isn’t this interesting.  Since the 2010 reveal of 4N’s first watch, an intriguing jumping disc digital display (hours and minutes), company founder and mastermind Franςois Quentin has flown a bit under the radar, working on improvements to his MVT-01 caliber’s mechanical architecture (including work with AP Renaud & Papi) and line extensions of the Sapphire Case 4N watch replica in new metals and finishes.  But that’s not all he’s been working on.  Just today, the company teased what will be called the best fake 4N Sapphire Planet Digital watch.  Details are scant at the moment, but it looks to be a sapphire-cased edition of the 4N watch, with digits that are either luminous or perhaps just painted aqua blue. This looks like a very exciting watch.

Thanks to improvements in technology, the to ability increasingly complex sapphire crystal shapes has provided for some of the most jaw-dropping watches brought to market over the last five or so years.  The $2,000,000 Richard Mille Sapphire Tourbillon RM 56-02 and the MB&F HM2 Sapphire are two that come to mind.  The 4N Sapphire Planet copy looks poised to join the list.  Stay tuned for more details coming from Baselworld 2015 next month.
