Fashion Statement

Clean lines define the ladies' watches of the Alto collection, all meticulously hand-crafted in Switzerland. Their name is pure music: unmistakable, beguiling and full of character, they lend a melodious voice to the style of trendsetting women everywhere. The metallized watch glass casing creates the signature Jowissa look and is the theme of this harmonious composition. The flat-faceted glass rim directs the eye to the elegant dial and ensures absolute clarity of vision.

With sophisticated details and high-quality materials, the Alto provides fashionable accents: colourful, easy-to-change straps in genuine leather or mesh band, gleaming metallized bezels in the glass, elegant rose gilding or steel look, and shiny sunray dials. The Alto watches, with case diameters contemporary styled at 30.5 mm or 35 mm and extremely slim strap lugs, transcend mere functionality to become decorative pieces of jewellery.
