YEMA Granvelle Renaissance CMM.29: architecture under sapphire

The YEMA Granvelle Renaissance translates the roof patterns and symmetry of Besançon's Granvelle Palace into a surprisingly architectural dial. Four levels of finishing establish a hierarchy between the patterned central medallion, small seconds at nine, hour track and sculpted steel bezel. Its compact cushion-shaped case is 37.5 mm across and 8.5 mm thick, with an elongated 46.3 mm lug-to-lug profile.

The in-house CMM.29 automatic movement uses an embedded micro-rotor to provide 70 hours of power reserve while staying thin. It is visible through the sapphire back, where radiating bridge decoration complements the dial's geometry. A dark leather strap and refined cushion-shaped crown complete a restrained design. YEMA lists this cream-dial reference at US$2,500, with mid-October 2026 shipping indicated; the shipping window is not an exact release date.
