Atelier Côte Slim Quartz

The Slim Quartz is the entry into Atelier Côte's house style — a 36mm polished stainless steel dress watch on an ultra-thin 6.4mm case, sized for the wrist that wants a watch under a shirt cuff without making a study of it. The white opaline dial carries slim applied steel indices, a printed minute track at the chapter ring, and a pair of leaf-shaped hands in polished steel that read cleanly across a candlelit table.

Movement is a high-grade Swiss quartz, chosen here for the case thickness — a mechanical caliber would push the watch past 8mm, and the quiet thinness is the point. Battery life is approximately five years, replaced through the screwed case back at the Atelier Côte service desk. Water resistance is 30m.

This tends to be the first Atelier Côte purchase for a customer who has been wearing a sport watch and now needs something for a wedding, a new job with a different dress code, or the slow shift into evenings that require a cuff. Delivered on a black calfskin strap with a polished pin buckle.
