The Cyrus Klepcys GMT Palm editions are two limited-run colour interpretations of the brand’s Klepcys GMT, created with Saudi retailer and gallery operator 10TenLabs. The salmon Najid and turquoise-blue Hijaz share a palm-shaped openworked bridge and the same dual-time display: central hands show local time, while a retrograde hand tracks home time across a 24-hour arc.
Two editions, two architectural references
Both watches take the classic Cyrus Klepcys GMT as their starting point. Their principal difference is the colour and the architectural reference described in Monochrome Watches’ launch report, published 20 February 2024.
| Edition | Bridge treatment | Design reference |
|---|---|---|
| Najid | Salmon galvanic treatment | Heritage-house hues in Najid |
| Hijaz | Turquoise-blue ALD coating | Traditional turquoise doors in Hijaz |
The shared visual centrepiece is a skeletonised upper bridge shaped like a palm. Arabic hour numerals appear on a sapphire ring, while the minute flange has luminous markers at five-minute intervals. The openworked rotor also echoes the palm motif.
How the GMT display works
The central hour and minute hands show local time. Home time is read separately from a retrograde hand that moves along a 24-hour arc, making it possible to distinguish day from night in the second time zone. The crown at 9 o’clock is used to set the home-time indication.
