A CELEBRATION OF RESTORED HOROLOGICAL EXCELLENCE

Singer, the independent watchmaking atelier renowned for pushing the boundaries of design and innovation, proudly unveils the Heritage Collection—a new chapter in the brand’s philosophy and the official launch of its Restored pillar.

This collection breathes new life into a legend of horology, the Valjoux 236, a movement that refined and perfected the legacy of its predecessor, the Valjoux 23.

A TIMEKEEPER’S REVIVAL

The Heritage Collection is not just a tribute to watchmaking history but an exercise in restoration and reinvention.

At its heart lies the Valjoux 236, a manually wound, column-wheel chronograph movement introduced in 1974 as the high-frequency evolution of the legendary Valjoux 23.

Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour compared to its predecessor’s 18,000 A/h— the Valjoux 236 delivers superior precision and enhanced stability.

What makes these movements even more remarkable is that their components are NOS (new old stock): untouched, never before assembled or used, and preserved in pristine condition for nearly half a century. These “time-capsule” calibres offer an extraordinary foundation for restoration, unspoiled by wear or compromise. Singer Reimagined’s master artisans approach each of these movements with the highest level of horological craftsmanship. Every component is carefully disassembled, meticulously refinished, and assembled for the first time to exceed even the original manufacturing standards.

The result is a movement that retains the spirit of its vintage origin while being elevated to contemporary haute horlogerie excellence.

A FUSION OF VINTAGE AND MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Encased in a refined 38.8mm stainless steel case with a sunray satin finish and mirror-polished chamfers, the Heritage Collection seamlessly bridges the past and the present.

The watch features Singer’s signature design elements, including a toothed golden flange, lacquered dials, and applied indices that evoke timeless elegance.

A sapphire crystal case back offers a window into the restored movement, each bearing the engraving Restored by Singer, marking its place in the brand’s pursuit of horological excellence.

With a 48-hour power reserve, central hours and minutes, a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, and a chronograph featuring a large central seconds hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, the Heritage Collection seamlessly balances vintage inspiration with modern-day precision.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR SINGER REIMAGINED

With Reimagined, Restored, and Reborn as its three guiding pillars, Singer Reimagined has continuously sought to push the limits of creativity in watchmaking.

The Heritage Collection serves as the embodiment of the Restored pillar, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to preserving and celebrating mechanical excellence.

“Restoration is about more than preserving the past—it’s about reinterpreting it for the future,” says Marco Borraccino, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Singer Reimagined.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLECTORS

Vintage movements are experiencing a renaissance, but few brands have committed to restoring them at this level.

While other contemporary watchmakers have repurposed Valjoux movements, none have applied the degree of refinement, care, and haute horlogerie finishing that Singer Reimagined has poured into the Heritage Collection.

This is more than a reissue—it is a resurrection, a revival of a movement that deserves to be worn and admired for generations to come.

For collectors, the Heritage Collection offers something truly rare: an opportunity to own not just a piece of history, but a movement restored to its highest potential. Each watch is a testament to Singer Reimagined’s philosophy that legends are not merely preserved—they are reborn.
