Custom watch manufacturer SKELETON CONCEPT has released a collaboration model with Paris Saint-Germain soccer player Presnel Kimpembe.
It was a new technical challenge that had never been done before. Another request was to maintain the "sportswear" aspect of the watch and highlight the blue color of the bezel, since blue is his signature color.
Due to the particularity of the movement and its two complications (the date disc and the GMT time zone), it was necessary to use a lot of ingenuity and creativity to achieve its skeletonization.
The density of the original movement of the GMT-Master II required particular attention, and a special sandblasting process was performed to preserve the consistency of the watch and add a matte aspect to its visual aesthetic.
Its colour is a beautiful pale Oystersteel grey, complementing the two-tone blue and black bezel chosen by World Cup champion Kimpembe, and it is fitted with a matte Oystersteel bracelet.
The transparent Datetodis creates the illusion that the numbers are floating in the air, and his jersey number "3" has been changed to his signature color, blue.
Furthermore, the Kimpembe Concept is limited to just 33 pieces worldwide.
Presnel Kimpembe was born on August 13, 1995, in France to a Congolese father and a Haitian mother. Named after his maternal grandfather, family values have always been paramount to him. Passionate about football from an early age, Kimpembe took his first steps in football at the age of 10. He made his professional debut with Paris Saint-Germain in 2014 and played in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in February 2017. He won his first "Champion of France" title with Paris Saint-Germain.
