In the ever-growing sea of impressive microbrands, Swiss upstarts Furlan Marri have carved out a niche of dressy watches with vintage flair. That’s not giving them full credit, of course—they’ve also managed to create a wholly recognizable visual style within a few short years, to the point where “Furlan Marri-esque” is a perfectly reasonable compound adjective to sling around. Continuing their current theme of circular motifs, the brand is expanding their Cornes de Vache (“cow horns” in French, referring to long, curved lugs) collection of automatic watches with the Blue Sector joining the lineup, bringing a classically upscale blue and silver colorway to a collection already bursting with color.
Like the other Cornes de Vache models already available, the Blue Sector is housed in a circular 37.5mm polished stainless steel case with cow-horn lugs, connected by a bridge at the 6 and 12 o’clock positions. Lug-to-lug, the case measures in at 46mm, with a 10.5mm thickness, placing it on the small-to-medium side of the dress watch spectrum. The sector dial from which the reference pulls its name features the same layout as the other Sector models, with double-stamped indications and applied Breguet-style indexes. The dark blue of the dial is further diversified by the textured center circle, split into four. The 12, 3, 6, and 9 numerals echo the quartering theme, and feature an elegant, vintage script. These numerals, along with the hands, indexes, and other details, match the case’s polished stainless steel.
Inside the Blue Sector (and all Cornes de Vache models) is a La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement, which boasts a power reserve of 68 hours. It additionally features a tungsten rotor with palladium coating, Geneva stripes, snailing, blued screws, and an engraved rotor that reads, “Crafted with care, designed for details”, Furlan Marri’s motto. The design of the Blue Sector is capped off with scratch-proof sapphire crystal on the front and back of the watch, complete with anti-reflective and fingerprint -resistant coating.
Since the cow-horn lugs allow for both curved and straight spring bars, Furlan Marri has included leather straps with either option, in sand and light blue.
For a brand founded just four years ago. Furlan Marri has forced their way into the microbrand conversation via watches that showcase high design sensibilities over complications for complications-sake. The Blue Sector carries the torch by featuring the brand’s signature style—namely circular motifs, historically-informed design elements, and rich colorways—and should do very well with fans of the brand, and newcomers looking for a vintage-adjacent dress watch at an affordable price.
The Furlan Marri Cornes de Vache Blue Sector retails for approximately $1,560, or CHF 1,250. Furlan Marri
