Innovations from Glycine
Contrasts and colours
Glycine’s innovations in three product lines have one thing in common: their high-
contrast appearance and the continued commitment to high readability and
aesthetics.
INCURSORE Arco II: On-the-dot precision
With its large dot in the centre o the dial, the INCURSORE Arco II stands
out straight away. The hour is displayed on this dot with an extremely
short hand. On the outer rings, the colours stand out just as clearly as
those of the ‘centre dot’, and there is both a scale of 5 to 60 and a
countdown scale of 60 back down to 0.“This is a dial that gives a strong
technical impression,” says CEO Katherina Brechbühler. The interplay of
the colours and contrasts also benefits the functionality. The readability is
very high, which is one of Glycine’s main concerns.
The INCURSORE Arco II is available in three colour variations: black/orange, white/blue and
black/white. It has a diameter of 44 millimetres, a mat or polished case and a see-through
back and is equipped with an ETA 2824 automatic movement. It is waterproof up to 100
metres and costs around 800 CHF.
KMU 48 Limited O’6: A combination of unusual materials
The new KMU 48 Limited O’6 is no less rich in contrasts, not
only in regard to its colours – black and orange – but also its
materials. Most of the dial is made of carbon fibre which gives
it structure and shine, depending on how the light falls.
Positioned at six o’clock, the seconds are displayed on an area
of orange-coloured luminous material. “The unusual
combination of carbon and luminous material appealed to me.
The success of its predecessor, the KMU 48 Big Second, induced me to create something
special,” explains Katherina Brechbühler. A special watch is the result, and it too has
exceptional functionality.

The KMU 48 Limited O’6 will be on the market in a limited series of 250 pieces. The watch is
equipped with a finely finished Unitas 6498 movement and has a diameter of 48 millimetres –
as its name suggests. It is waterproof up to 100 metres, comes with a leather strap and costs
around 1400 CHF.
COMBAT Big Date: Colour and simplicity
Green, pink, violet – or classic black: these are the colour
variations of the new COMBAT. The high-contrast second
zones stand out in silver or sand colours. The date display
is of above-average size and positioned at 12 o’clock. The
COMBAT Big Date is one of the few quartz watches to be
found in the very popular COMBAT line of Glycine. “Nevertheless, it fits in very well with our
other products. Thanks to its high quality, its luminous elements and its diameter of 40
millimetres, it is an ideal complement to our COMBAT range,” says Katherina Brechbühler.
The COMBAT Big Date is available in three different colours with a solid metal bracelet or
with a trendy tissue strap, which is particularly comfortable to wear. It has a sapphire glass
cover, is waterproof up to 50 metres and costs around 350 CHF.
Glycine Watch SA – Tradition since 1914
The watch company Glycine Watch SA in Biel is renowned for sturdy high-quality watches
with large diameters. The company offers a wide range of mechanical aviator watches,
chronographs and diving watches and has sales outlets in over 30 countries. Since being
founded in 1914 by Eugène Meylan, Glycine has remained a family company, co-owned and
managed by Katherina Brechbühler, who is also responsible for design, and her father, Hans
Brechbühler.
