When fixie freestyle inspires the GRX watch

A new watchmaking exploration by CHARLIE Paris

An independent French watchmaker, CHARLIE Paris strives to create watches that embody elegance, technical sophistication, and a unique inspiration. After exploring the depths of the ocean with the Concordia collection and the stars with the Alliance Phase de Lune, the Parisian brand now unveils a new creation that is firmly rooted in the daily lives of urban adventurers: the GRX collection.

This new French chronograph watch finds its inspiration in the freestyle world of fixie, this minimalist bike that has become a symbol of freedom, fluidity and mastery of movement.

A watch inspired by fixie and the city in motion

More than a bike, the fixie is a true philosophy of life. Without speed or artifice, it demands precision, balance, and absolute confidence. By transposing these values ​​into the world of watchmaking, CHARLIE Paris has created a watch that reflects the same intensity and refined simplicity.

The GRX translates this urban energy through:

• A fluid and mechanical design, reminiscent of the perfect circle of wheels on the asphalt.
  
• Dynamic and contrasting colors, inspired by the vibrant energy of metropolises.
  
• A robustness assumed, like the solid frame of fixie bikes.
  

Designed as a bike commuter's watch, the GRX accompanies city dwellers who tame the city, transform their journeys into a playground and experience every second as an acceleration.

Three models: GRX Spectral, GRX Tactic and GRX Gamma

The GRX collection is available in three distinct interpretations, each reflecting a facet of urban freestyle:

• GRX Spectral – minimalist and playful, it reinvents the rhythm of everyday life.
  
• GRX Tactic – precise and assertive, it embodies responsiveness and anticipation.
  
• GRX Gamma – bold and energetic, it celebrates speed and movement.
  

These three models share a common DNA: a sporty and technical watch, designed to be both efficient and aesthetic.

Technical characteristics of the GRX collection

Beyond its urban inspiration, the GRX stands out as a sports watch with careful finishing:

• 39mm stainless steel case with black PVD coating : a balanced diameter that fits all wrists.
  
• Seiko Mecaquartz Chronograph movement : the precision of quartz combined with a smooth second hand at 4 beats per second.
  
• 10 ATM waterproof : splash-proof and suitable for urban and aquatic adventures.
  
• Luminescent hands and indexes : perfect readability, day and night.
  
• Interchangeable strap system : nylon, leather or rubber, to adapt the watch to every style.
  

Each model is designed and assembled in Paris, using a sustainable production approach, and is priced at €395.

An urban, sporty and French watch

The GRX collection isn't just about watches: it reflects a true urban lifestyle. The lifestyle of those who move with ease, choose their own pace, and make every moment a new race.

On the wrist, the GRX becomes more than a timepiece: it is a manifesto of freedom, an invitation to embrace speed, cultivate agility and play with time.
The launch campaign is embodied by Antoine aka ElFakijoe, a renowned freestyle fixie artist, whose universe perfectly illustrates the creativity, fluidity and audacity that inspired this collection.
