So, here’s my avant-garde timepiece of the week…the Kuros from watchmakers Cyrus, out of Geneva, Switzerland. This is a new collection to me, but one that has impressed me with its unique aesthetic, use of materials and is a collection that is driven by strong design concepts.
Just look at the silhouette of this baby… It’s got that sleek, automotive profile, one that evokes speed, low drag and more. If I may be so bold, I’m even inclined to propose that this timepiece be married up with the Lotus Evora (pictured below). If you happen to be at the Geneva Auto Show in March, you can appreciate the Lotus “in the flesh”, and then possibly take a Cyrus timepiece for a ride as well.
Enjoy!!

A unique design! I am very impressed by the detailed case and unique shape on the wrist. it is good to see that some independent watchmakers are so creative and put new ideas on the market! Thanks…
My father drives a LOTUS and asked me where to find such a timepiece! He is fan, like me. If we drive very original cars with strong personality why should we go to traditional not exciting watch brands. The world changes and we too! CYRUS is building the future, I feel it!
I am very excited too as I met CEO and founder of that company and he was so passionate about his creation and shared so many things with me that I have no other choice that being a fan forever. Such a determination will make the brand stronger and stronger.
CYRUS, the next key brand!
I was at the Geneva Car Exhibition this last Saturday and…I went to the beautiful LOTUS booth…You are right! The designs of LOTUS EVORA MANSORY and KUROS are done to get married. Very unique. Thanks! These 2 brands have really something to tell…
What a beautiful article!
Here it is a awesome combination of to elegant, classy and fancy mechanical piece of art. As a fan of Kuros I feel very close to Lotus right now!
Loving the design of the lotus cars!
With such a good brand you’ve got to have a beautiful watch !
The Cyrus brand reflect the design of a lotus in a different way, without copying at all.
Can’t wait to have my hand on both of them.
This watch is beautiful, the design and the look of the watch is very good !
Your comparaison is great and the Shanghai Time proved it rewarded the Kuros as on of the best sporty design of the year.
La Cyrus Klepcys est une montre magnifique ! Les trois complications sont vraiment unique et il est nécessaire de les voir en “vrai” pour apprécier vraiment le travail effectué.

I like the Cyrus Klepcys more, 3 complications in one watch, I’m just loving it. I just saw it a few weeks ago when I met the Cyrus CEO at my personnal dealer.
Check this out to understand why I am so excited about it ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cBODnJZSo0
Lotus is really showing beautiful cars ! I had the chance to drive one a few months back
I also checked Cyrus and saw that they are releasing a Cyrus Klepcys Only Watch special edition for Only Watch 2011.
I will be at the auction and I am delighted to see that such brands like Cyrus and other young brands are willing to give so much for a charity auction.
