bimbu Patrium in MyWatchsite

For the final episode of its series dedicated to Geneva Watch Days 2026, MyWatchsite brings together bimbu, Breitling, and Gallet, revisiting two new interpretations of the Patrium collection: the Turquoise Spider with a gem-set bezel and the Silicium.

From stone dials to iconic watches, from young maisons to historic brands: in the fourth and final episode of its series, MyWatchsite orchestrates a dialogue between three visions of watchmaking. Alongside Breitling’s Navitimer Tribute to Miles Davis and Gallet’s return for its bicentennial, bimbu opens the selection with a conviction summarized in one sentence: “At bimbu, the watch begins with the material.” The magazine recalls how, since the launch of Patrium, natural stone has made its way even into the small seconds, and how everyone composes their watch—dial, hands, and strap—to evolve it later without tools.

The Patrium Turquoise Spider revives the collection’s signature association: natural turquoise spider, whose veins make each dial unique, and Tahitian mother-of-pearl with its iridescent reflections. Here, it features a bezel set with 68 diamonds, available upon request for other Patrium references, without diminishing what MyWatchsite considers “the heart of the watch: the stone itself.”

With the Patrium Silicium, bimbu “changes register.” Monocrystalline silicon, lightweight and impervious to magnetic waves as well as thermal shocks, lends the dial a more technical grey hue, complemented by a white quartzite small seconds. On both models, the hand-wound movement, a revisited and decorated Peseux 7001 base by Concepto in La Chaux-de-Fonds, deliberately remains understated: “a deliberately discreet mechanism, which allows the materials to take center stage.”

Our thanks to MyWatchsite for this fresh perspective on bimbu.
