Yema X Seconde/Seconde Watch: Yachtingraff

Yema X Seconde/Seconde : a Yachtingraf like no other

The new Yema Yachtingraf Seconde/Seconde takes up the iconic 38.5 mm case of the “Croisière” model, launched in the 1960s. This meca-quartz reinterpretation stands out with a black dial contrasted by red, white, and blue “graffiti” touches, evoking street art while maintaining the nautical spirit of the original yacht timer.

It incorporates the Seiko VK63 meca‑quartz movement, combining quartz precision and mechanical feel: fluid chronograph seconds hand, chronograph module with instant reset, and precision of ±20s per month.

The 316L steel case measures 38.5 mm in diameter, 46 mm lug-to-lug, with a thickness of 12.3 mm, protected by a double-domed Hesalite crystal. It offers solid 100m water resistance, faithful to its nautical heritage.

The chronograph pushers evoke spray paint nozzles, a creative signature full of humor. The steel caseback is engraved with a quote: “La Croisière, ma muse,” a nod to the spirit.

Delivered on a 19mm black tropic rubber strap with a pin buckle, this Yachtingraf combines bold style, vintage references, and technical modernity.

Who is Seconde/Seconde?

Seconde/Seconde is the pseudonym of Romaric André, a French artist known for his watch “subversions”: he replaces the original hands with surprising graphic creations, often designed in the Jura region. Since 2018, he has collaborated with brands such as Yema, Christopher Ward, Vulcain, About vintage, Buci, or Perrelet, to transform classic models into playful artistic objects. He defines himself as follows: “I vandalize existing products, but above all, it is improvement”
