"A legendary actor, who made La Strada a film classic and finally attained cult status with Zorba the Greek: Anthony Quinn knew how to make an impression with his exuberant vitality and his bountiful artistic creativity – not only as an actor, but also as a painter and sculptor. Sovereign, sensuous and multi-faceted, this timepiece series dedicated to Anthony Quinn is a reflection of Quinn’s fascinating personality and his special relationship to dark and light, form and texture. Stainless steel housing (full or rosé IPG plated), whose satined bezel and lug surfaces alternate with polished flanks, frames an elaborate, multi-level, satined dial. The base level is made up of concentric circles, on which is mounted an exterior ring, which carries the minute markers on its bevelled interior edge and at the same time forms a basis for the hand-applied hour markers and Arabic numerals. The third level shows the date display affixed with two screws in the Automatic version and the small second counter at 9 o’clock, which is equally affixed with two screws, in the case of the Chronograph version, allowing the hour hand to pass beneath it between 8 and 10 o’clock. Appealing to the senses – in design and technical prowess alike. The design of the back also speaks an unmistakably masculine language. The transition from the housing to the leather strap is equally fluid. The DAVOSA Quinn – full of references to the visual arts, yet without artifice, striking, yet without heaviness, and in its cohesive, organic design and fine detail quite simply inspiring."
