Samurai spirit on the wrist
The EMERA EP 01-01’s dial is a marvel of design and craftsmanship. It features a sculpted relief of a samurai warrior in traditional armor, reminiscent of the intricate forging techniques used on Katana sword hilts and Tsuba handguards. This artistry is further accentuated by a hidden treasure beneath its opaque black DLC coating – delicately hand-carved 18k rose gold, known only to the watch’s owner. This design choice reflects the samurai virtues of frugality, humility, and modesty, emphasizing a discrete yet powerful presence.

The heart of precision
At the core of the EP 01-01 lies the Calibre MRA 01, an in-house mechanical, automatic movement with a sixty-second flying tourbillon. This mechanism is not just a display of precision but also remains protected under the watchful gaze of the samurai warrior guardian, symbolizing steadfastness and dedication.
A case of strength and style
The case of the EP 01-01 Cyborg Black Shadow Warrior seamlessly blends samurai symbolism with elements inspired by hypercars. Crafted from Grade 5 titanium coated with DLC, it offers resilience surpassing even the sturdiest samurai armor, a nod to the watch’s fusion of tradition and modern technology.
EMERA’s bold vision
EMERA’s bold vision is to redefine haute horlogerie and challenge conventional luxury watch standards. Since its emergence two years ago with the ultra-futuristic Cyborg collection, EMERA has captured the attention of industry insiders and connoisseurs of avant-garde luxury. The EP 01-01 exemplifies this vision, appealing to a new generation of watch enthusiasts who value progressive ideals and the courage to forge their own paths.
