We believe a watch case defines the character of the entire piece. For the Evermont, we set out to create a case that balances strength with elegance, timeless proportions with modern refinement. Every angle, surface, and finish has been carefully considered to ensure both beauty and durability.

Sculpted Design

The Evermont case is refined and classic in form, with lyre-style lugs that flow effortlessly and align perfectly with the bracelet. Each surface is angled and proportioned to create harmony between case, lugs, and end links, resulting in a seamless integration that looks and feels natural.

The front of the case features a brushed finish, echoing the precision of high horology design. The lugs are also brushed to flow directly into the bracelet, ensuring continuity of texture and finish. This creates a sense of fluidity, making case and bracelet feel like a single piece.

Finishing & Protection

The case is protected by our ChronoGuard surface hardening, reaching 800 Vickers Hardness (HV). This treatment makes the steel over four times more resistant to scratches and everyday wear than untreated 316L stainless steel, preserving its sharp lines and crisp surfaces for years to come.

In addition, strategic brushing has been applied to high-contact areas most prone to hairline marks. This ensures that even with daily wear, the Evermont maintains its refined look, aging gracefully while retaining its modern edge.

The Open Caseback

Turning the watch over reveals a sapphire crystal open caseback, finished with double anti-reflective coating on both sides for complete clarity. This offers an unhindered view of our decorated ES-M9019 calibre at the heart of the Evermont — from the custom rotor to the Geneva waves and blued screws — all visible without distortion or glare. It’s a subtle invitation to appreciate the mechanics powering your timepiece.

The Crown

The crown is the point of connection between wearer and watch — and for the Evermont, it was designed to be both functional and refined. Its size and shape make time-setting easy and comfortable, with smooth action and reassuring precision.

At its center, the Emerton Scott rosette emerges against a gently sandblasted background, creating a subtle yet elegant contrast. This detail captures our philosophy: even the most functional elements should carry beauty and meaning.

Built to Last

The Evermont case and crown embody our design philosophy: durability paired with refinement, utility paired with elegance. By combining thoughtful architecture, protective finishes, and intentional details, we’ve created a case that doesn’t just house the movement — it frames the entire watch as a piece of lasting, functional design.
