Here at The Coolector, we’re always intrigued by watch collaborations that step outside the norm, and Spinnaker’s partnership with Parisian watch artist Romaric André, founder of Seconde/Seconde/, is a perfect example. The Fleuss 40 Automatic – Seconde/Seconde/ 2024 Edition is a bold celebration of the unconventional, blending the worlds of high horology with a dash of Halloween-inspired mischief. This year’s release elevates the playful subversion that Seconde/Seconde/ is known for, delivering two ghostly variants that are just in time for the spooky season.
Spinnaker has worked with Romaric André to create a timepiece that not only honours the spirit of watchmaking craftsmanship but also invites a bit of fun into the mix. Available in two distinct versions, the Phantom No Apparitions and the Phantom Classic, this limited release is a striking blend of eerie aesthetics and robust functionality. The Phantom No Apparitions variant takes inspiration from “no radiation” signs, but with a supernatural twist: instead of radiation, it’s the ghosts that have escaped the dial and now linger on the bezel, a stark reminder that there are no apparitions beyond this point. On the other hand, the Phantom Classic keeps the spirits anchored to the dial, embodying a more contained yet equally captivating narrative.
Crafted from stainless steel, the Fleuss 40 Automatic has a case size of 40mm and a thickness of 11mm, offering a sleek profile that remains comfortable on the wrist. The applied index markers, coated with Swiss Super Luminova, ensure exceptional readability even in low-light conditions—perfect for those late-night adventures when things start to get eerie. The watch features a sapphire lens for added durability, while the screw-down crown and 15 ATM water resistance mean this timepiece is ready for anything, whether you’re diving into deep waters or navigating through a haunted house.
At the heart of the Fleuss 40 Automatic is the Miyota 9039 Automatic Movement, known for its reliability and precision. With 24 jewels, a 41+ hour power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 BPH, this movement is designed to adapt effortlessly to your lifestyle. No manual winding is needed—this watch will keep up with you, wherever your adventures take you.
The Fleuss 40 Automatic also comes with a 20mm purple genuine leather strap, paired with an additional purple rubber strap for added versatility. The vivid purple hue not only adds a touch of playfulness to the watch but also makes it a standout accessory for any outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for a Halloween gathering or just adding a pop of colour to your day-to-day style, this strap delivers in both comfort and visual appeal.
Founded by Romaric André, Seconde/Seconde/ is a watch-customization studio that takes a whimsical approach to timepiece design, transforming vintage watches into modern art pieces that challenge conventions and spark conversation. The Spinnaker x Seconde/Seconde/ collaboration is no different, bringing an avant-garde twist to a classic dive watch while celebrating the spooky charm of the Halloween season.
If you’re looking for a timepiece that embraces both the art of watchmaking and the spirit of playful subversion, the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic – Seconde/Seconde/ 2024 Edition is an ideal choice. It’s more than just a watch—it’s a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a tribute to the thrill of the unknown. With its combination of bold design, quality craftsmanship, and limited availability, this is one watch that collectors and enthusiasts alike won’t want to miss.
