A Watch Born from a Minimalist Vision
Pure Lines and a Refined Dial
The Apose N°3 Radial is the embodiment of French minimalist design. Its lines are intentionally stripped of all excess, preserving only the essential — a perfectly balanced dial, sharp hands, and immediate legibility. Every detail is crafted to express purity, free from ornament, with discreet elegance.
A Design Meant to Transcend Time
The N°3 Radial is not a watch of passing trends; it was conceived as a timeless object. Its refined design, built on balanced proportions and subtle aesthetic choices, allows it to endure beyond fashion. A watch created to accompany its wearer for a lifetime.
The Magic of the Radial Ring
The N°3 Radial collection features a striking fluted ring encircling its dial — a distinctive element that tells a story reaching back to the origins of Apose.
“When holding an Apose watch, each of our clients would spend long moments admiring it, turning it gently in every direction with genuine delight. We had achieved something unheard of in watchmaking: inventing a choreography that brings to life materials, forms, colours, light and reflections.”
The radial ring is the culmination of that aesthetic pursuit — an invitation to play with light, to discover the watch from every angle, like a performance that never repeats itself.
A new discipline was born. Let the spectacle begin.
Noble and Durable Materials
High-End Steel Case
The case of the N°3 Radial is crafted from 316L stainless steel, a material prized in watchmaking for its robustness and resistance to corrosion. Carefully polished and satin-finished, it captures the light in multiple ways, giving the watch a refined and enduring presence.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Renowned for its exceptional hardness, it resists everyday scratches while offering perfect transparency to admire the finesse of the finishing.
French Savoir-Faire at the Heart of the N°3 Radial
Design and Assembly in France
Each N°3 Radial is entirely designed and assembled in France, in keeping with traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. This deliberate choice reflects Apose’s commitment to preserving and promoting French horological savoir-faire, contributing to the longevity of local expertise.
France Ébauches Movement
The N°3 Radial is powered by a France Ébauches automatic movement, a symbol of strength and precision. This historic caliber, renowned for its reliability, embodies the very best of French mechanical craftsmanship — giving the watch its authentic and enduring character.
N°3 Radial — A Signature of French Elegance
Minimalism, technical excellence, and local savoir-faire — the N°3 Radial brings together all the defining traits of a high-end French watch.
It proves that a refined design, combined with noble materials and rigorous craftsmanship, can give rise to a truly exceptional timepiece.
More than just a watch, the N°3 Radial is the signature of quiet French luxury.
