If you are a watch enthusiast or simply a lover of beautiful pieces, you have probably already heard of Stonethis watchmaking company which has been making a name for itself in the watchmaking industry for several years. With its refined, yet accessible creations, this Dutch brand has managed to attract a demanding clientele without falling into elitism. The Dutch brand, always in search of innovation, presents us today with a watch that deserves our full attention: the Manhattan 40.
A material symbol of prestige
So why all the excitement around this model? Well, the Manhattan 40 marks a new stage in the history of the brand, and more particularly in the world of dials. This time, Maen opted for a jade dial, a stone that evokes luxury, rarity and a certain mysticism. Jade is much more than just a precious stone, it embodies values such as longevity, wisdom, and even luck. Choosing jade to adorn the dial of a watch is therefore a nod to refinement, but also to a certain form of timeless elegance.
Maen perfectly understood the appeal of this material and decided to make it a central piece of its Manhattan 40 model. This choice of materials is also a way for the brand to differentiate itself, because you should know that jade does not is not a common choice in the watchmaking world.
Features that redefine luxury
Let’s now move on to the technical part, Manhattan 40it’s much more than a jade dial. This watch is a piece of watchmaking precision which hides a Sellita SW200 automatic movement under its refined case. But then, why this choice? Simply because this movement is one of the most reliable and robust in its category. It guarantees impeccable precision while offering power reserve 38.
Its 316L stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter, making it slightly larger than the previous version, but still thin enough at just 9.6mm thick. Result ? A look that is both modern and elegant, without excess size.
Add to that an anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal, and you have a watch that is both durable and refined. We can therefore say that Maen did not skimp on the quality of the materials, which allows the Manhattan 40 to stand out in a market saturated with models that are often too classic or too impersonal.
An exclusive edition reserved for connoisseurs
For collectors and those who like the idea of owning something unique, the Manhattan 40 offers a limited edition jade dial. Note that each piece is numbered, which makes it a real object of desire. But be careful, this version will only be available during the pre-order period, until July 2025.
From 1 249 €this version with a jade dial is not cheap, but for a watch with such a unique material, it is a price that remains quite reasonable. Moreover, for the most demanding, a version with high-end Sellita movement is also offered for a higher price of 1 718 €a price which amply justifies the rarity of jade.
The importance of jade in the Manhattan collection
Through this creation, Maen is not just offering an improved model, but a reinvention of his own philosophy. The brand manages to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary needs, creating a watch that is timeless while remaining resolutely modern. The jade dial is both a nod to history, a reference to discreet luxury, and a touch of rarity that few brands can afford. Fans of beautiful pieces and strong symbolism will agree that the Maen Manhattan 40 is a must-have.
