Why it is interesting

Lovon’s strength is the contrast between a restrained dial and visible handwork on the lugs.

Things to consider

At 49.5 mm lug to lug it is substantial for a dress watch; confirm price and specification with the maker.

The model in detail

Meet the watch

Lovon begins with the case details: the lugs are screwed on and decorated with hand engraving. For Belgian jeweller Vander Avort, it brings familiar precious-metal craft into a watch of its own.

Fratello gives a 40.9 mm diameter, 10.8 mm thickness and 49.5 mm lug-to-lug measurement. Rose- and white-gold cases are offered; the seven dial colours are each made in runs of five.

The automatic VA01 was developed by Chronode under Jean-François Mojon. Fratello reports a 60-hour reserve and 4 Hz frequency. The display back reveals the bridges, finishing and rotor.

Details and limitations

Guilloché radiates from the dial’s centre, with a date at three. Lovon will appeal to someone who likes a restrained classic dial but prefers a larger size than many traditional dress watches.

Fratello lists €37,300 for rose gold and €38,300 for white gold. These are reported prices, not confirmation of available stock. The long case and substantial price deserve a fitting and comparison with other gold watches.
