Custom Piece | The Golden Alchemist
Price on request
The Golden Alchemist – a Bespoke Timepiece in Titanium and 18-Carat Gold.
This watch is far more than a Piece Unique – this One of One was created at the request of a visionary client seeking something unmistakably personal.
For months, Matthias Kieser and goldsmith Carolin meticulously conceived, tested, and redesigned every detail until the overall concept was perfectly balanced. Nothing was left to chance; every element was developed in-house and crafted by hand.
The result: a deep black DLC exoskeleton, with hand-crafted 18-carat gold indices and hands that catch the light. Perfectly complemented by violet accents, created through the anodizing of the titanium – a technique mastered by only a few manufacturers worldwide at this level of quality.
A Piece Unique that goes far beyond the ordinary in technical innovation, design, and artisanal execution. Elegant, perfectly balanced, and endlessly captivating.
Each watch is handcrafted with attention to detail and the experience of Matthias Kieser and his goldsmith.
We manufacture almost all of your watch's components ourselves: case, dial, indices, hands, crown, and clasp. Only the base movement comes from Switzerland—the rest is Kieser.
Matthias Kieser is particularly proud of the skeletonized rotor made of titanium and 18-carat gold, which he designed and manufactured himself.
For Matthias Kieser, watchmaking is about responsibility – towards the details, the wearer, the idea. His question: "How do you build an innovative watch that enriches everyday life?"
The answer is palpable in every Kieser: well thought out, precise, full of craftsmanship.
Nature doesn’t just build beautifully – it builds ingeniously!
This Bespoke Timepiece embodies what Kieser Design stands for: technology inspired by nature – thought through down to the last detail.
From the DLC-coated patented exoskeleton case to the honeycomb-shaped skeletonized 18-karat gold rotor, every element reflects the principles of bionics: delicate, stable, intelligent.
The case is made of Grade 5 titanium – a material used in aerospace – and protects like armor while remaining surprisingly light.
Inspired by the dragonfly, Matthias Kieser developed a case concept that combines lightness and durability – patented, precise and typically Kieser.
Manufactured in our Frankfurt factory – from the raw piece of titanium to the finished watch.
