Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Robert Frost Over 3 years have been dedicated to the development of the Klepcys collection with worldwide-patented functions and design. Cyrus took the less-traveled road by creating an exclusive and innovative watch with a strong identity. Awarded ?Best independent brand? at the Nuit de l?Horlogerie de Monaco (May 30th) with the Klepcys collection, Cyrus is proud to present the Klepcys, pièce unique, made especially for Only Watch. To the owner of the Klepcys ?pièce unique?: Being the owner of this ?pièce unique? means much more than simply possessing an exclusive timepiece. The owner will be invited to Le Locle, Switzerland, for a unique experience, as the guest of the brand. He will be given his ?pièce unique? at the manufacture, and will meet Jean-François Mojon and his watchmakers, the team that developed the Klepcys collection. All the timepiece?s secrets will be revealed to him, including one specific and exclusive secret that has never been revealed to the press or to collectors. After dinner with Jean-François Mojon and Cyrus CEO Laurent Lecamp, the happy owner will spend a memorable night in a secret place and discover what "breakfast for watchmakers" means... 2 days full of surprises and discoveries! A unique experience for a unique timepiece.
