New BOMBERG Bolt-68 Neon Launched @ Watatime Malaysia

I was at Nagaba, Jalan Mesui the other day for an event organized by BOMBERG and Watatime Malaysia to showcase the new BOMBERG Bolt-68 Neon timepieces. It also doubles up as an informal session with the CEO of BOMBERG, Mr Giancarlo Mantuano, the man behind this very unique watch brand.

If you’re looking for an outstanding timepiece with daring details to fit your lifestyle, a BOMBERG watch is what you need. Made available to Malaysians since February 2015, BOMBERG launched its BOLT-68 collection which is brought in exclusively through Watatime. Check out my writeup on the launch (BOMBERG Malaysia Watch BOLT-68 Launch @ Providence KL)

According to BOMBERG CEO Giancarlo Mantuano, “The BOLT-68 collection carries a unique feature where the buttons and crown are placed at 12 o’clock. This allows transformation of each timepieces into a trendy pocket watch. Following the positive traction garnered from the local watch lovers, I am pleased to announce the arrival of BOLT-68 NEON to the shores of Malaysia.”

BOLT-68 NEON, launched recently at Baselworld 2015, is of four new quartz variations. Three of the new variations come in a black Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) steel case with either neon green, light blue or fuchsia and the fourth being a white and rose gold model. Retail price from RM4500 for the BOLT-68 NEON models.

A Swiss made brand that gets off the over-beaten track of watchmaking and dares to reinvent its products and rewrite its codes of communication. BOMBERG, the young Swiss company, infuses the watchmaking world with a good dose of audacity and rebellion.

A compelling timepiece and above all a dark object of desire intended for a man whose masculinity is not up for debate. With the added bonus of an exclusive technical feature and a pinch of irony chained to its advertising.

A classy, impressive object with the buttons and the crown placed at 12 o’clock as the first technical novelty. The face of the chronograph model features three counters plus the date window at the top. The GMT version shows a second time zone at three o’clock. The case has a very simple design, embellished with a band of criss-cross knurling or a grenade-grip pattern in the mechanical model. Besides the visual impact, these two elements have a practical function: on a man’s wrist, this device can’t fail to make a big impression, as it’s designed to do.

From a technical point of view, this dual usage – pocket and wrist – has meant new developments in three areas: size, engineering and security. The top-of-the-range model, the BOLT-68 Skull, has been produced as a limited edition with a black metallic chain whose links represent a series of skull and crossbones.
