Official partnership with the Hallyday family

Col&MacArthur collaborates with the Hallyday family to celebrate Johnny Hallyday's legacy. This collaboration came to fruition during the official exhibition "Johnny Hallyday L'Exposition" in Paris and Brussels. Thanks to this partnership, the black leather jacket worn by Johnny Hallyday was presented to Col&MacArthur by the singer's family in 2022. Col&MacArthur also obtained permission to affix Johnny's official signature to the back of each watch, out of deep respect for his memory.

Technical description

The black leather jacket worn by Johnny Hallyday was presented to Col&MacArthur by the singer's family in 2022, during the R&D phase of the project. Crafted by his designer Gérard Sené, it was cut into 8x2mm fragments in our approved laboratories, then encapsulated at 9 o'clock under a sapphire crystal. A piece steeped in history, the symbol of an eternal myth.

Powered by the Swiss Sellita caliber SW200-1, this watch embodies watchmaking excellence. Its automatic mechanical movement, equipped with 26 jewels, oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a power reserve of 38 hours, thus guaranteeing precise and consistent timekeeping. This 11 1/2-ligne caliber, renowned for its reliability and robustness, elegantly combines Swiss watchmaking tradition with contemporary performance, for a unique experience on the wrist.

The 43 mm case, 10.75 mm thick, is crafted from 316L steel, ensuring durability and strength. Its surface treatment combines an elegant polish on the top with a discreet brushed finish on the sides, creating a subtle interplay of textures. Protected by a highly resistant sapphire crystal and featuring an 11 mm lug width, it offers water resistance up to 10 ATM—a masterful balance between aesthetics and practicality.

The caseback, made of 316L stainless steel, features a variety of finishes ranging from polished to circular satin, which extends the watch's refined aesthetic. Its screw-down closure mechanism guarantees optimal security while preserving impeccable water resistance. In addition, it is equipped with a transparent sapphire crystal, allowing the movement to be admired and the mechanical beauty of the watch to be appreciated at all times. To enhance the whole, an exact reproduction of Johnny Hallyday's signature is painted on the caseback.

Mounted on a black, blue, or brown leather strap made from 316L steel, your watch combines flexibility, robustness, and understated elegance. The double folding clasp ensures optimal comfort and a secure fit, with an adjustable length from 180 to 220 mm.

For a more contemporary look, opt for the bracelet entirely in 316L steel with a black, gray or gold finish, combining a polished and satin finish equipped with a double security folding clasp.
