Unveiling the Singer Reimagined Caballero Collection
Geneva Watch Days brings together some of the finest names in haute horlogerie, offering collectors, journalists, and enthusiasts an intimate look at autumn’s most exciting timepieces. This exhibition favors authentic connections and a sense of community. The atmosphere is vibrant yet approachable, giving independent watchmakers the perfect stage to showcase new chapters in their creative journeys.
Singer Reimagined: Caballero Collection
At the center of this year’s exhibition, Singer Reimagined proudly unveiled its latest creation, the Caballero Collection. More than a watch, this is a statement of refinement, designed around the brand’s first fully proprietary movement: Calibre-4 Solotempo. Named after the Spanish word for gentleman, the Caballero captures dignity, quiet strength, and elegance distilled to its purest form. While Singer has long been recognized for bold chronographs, this new collection ventures into understated territory with a refined dial.
Calibre-4
The Calibre-4 is the beating heart of the new Singer Caballero, a revolutionary movement developed entirely in-house. Its most striking innovation lies in its four-barrel configuration, with twin sets of double barrels working in perfect parallel. This architecture ensures a consistent flow of energy for six uninterrupted days, minimizing amplitude drops and keeping precision stable from start to finish. Unlike traditional mainspring systems, which lose torque as they unwind, this design guarantees reliability, accuracy, and long-term performance. Operating at 4Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), it balances chronometric stability with robust durability, setting a new benchmark for three-hand manual-wind timepieces.
Exploring the Design
The case design continues this philosophy of subtle strength. Measuring 39mm across and only 10.5mm thick, the stainless steel case reflects mid-century inspirations with a contemporary edge. A circular satin finish is accented by mirror-polished chamfers, while a domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating adds legibility and strength. The exhibition caseback offers a full view of the movement’s meticulous finishing, ensuring the artistry inside is as striking as the outside silhouette. Each line, curve, and polished surface has been refined to achieve a perfect balance between restraint and character.
Three Colorways
Dial work takes center stage with a rich lacquer process that showcases artistry as much as mechanics. Available in Piano Black, Empire Green, or Petrol Blue, each dial provides a distinct personality within the collection. The Piano Black lacquer radiates timeless sophistication, pairing effortlessly with its textile strap. The deep Empire Green option adds a bold yet elegant character, matched with a khaki textile strap for subtle contrast. Meanwhile, the Petrol Blue offers a depth that’s both modern and versatile, elevated with a supple blue-grained leather strap. These colorways ensure the Singer Reimagined Caballero remains versatile while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across the collection.
Every detail has been carefully considered for both beauty and functionality. The applied Singer logo, signature toothed golden flange, and rhodium-plated hands with orange SuperLumiNova enhance legibility while preserving vintage appeal. A central seconds hand in Singer’s signature orange adds a subtle yet striking flourish, anchored with a golden cabochon. Completing the design, the straps taper from 20mm to 16mm, secured by a stainless steel pin buckle with engraved branding, perfectly marrying durability with refinement.
The Singer Reimagined Caballero marks a defining moment in Singer’s story. It is more than a new collection, it is the foundation of a movement family that will carry the atelier into its next era of horological achievement. By blending technical mastery with restrained aesthetics, Singer has created a watch that earns respect without demanding it. Quiet, confident, and enduring, the Singer Caballero proves that the most powerful revolutions are often the most understated. Explore now at OsterJewelers.com
