Designed with Restraint.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aureum is the metal expression of the modular system — a watch where the link strap is not an accessory but the defining element. The aesthetic is clean, architectural, and confident without ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Finishes. A Different Character.\u003c\/strong\u003e Christopher Butendorff built the modular system so that a watch could change with the person wearing it. Aureum applies that principle to metal — two link straps, silver and black, each shifting the watch's character without changing the head. A broken strap should not ruin a timepiece you love, and a change of finish should not require a second watch. Time should never limit your style. Your watch should not either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss Made. Crafted in Metal.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each Aureum is Swiss Made, powered by a Ronda 762 movement, and finished with K1 sapphire-coated glass. The case is available in 24mm and 36mm — the 24mm with a 12mm band width, the 36mm with a 20mm band width. Two metal link straps are included — silver and black, in the matching width for the case size chosen — chosen for their range across contemporary and understated aesthetics. Every watch is individually numbered and produced in small batches in Switzerland, arriving with a certificate of authenticity and a 24-month international warranty. Production takes nine to twelve months. That is how long Swiss made-to-order takes, and Aureum is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Expressions Changes. The Timepiece Remains.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aureum is built on the modular system. The watch head releases from the link strap by hand, and the two included metal straps are a beginning — any compatible strap in the collection fits, 12mm straps for the 24mm case, 20mm straps for the 36mm case, whether metal link, leather, or PVC. A silver link for the office, a black link for the evening, a leather strap for the weekend. The watch stays the same. The expression changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake Aureum Your Own.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aureum is made to order and individually numbered — created for those who appreciate the permanence of metal without being limited to a single expression. Silver brings a timeless, understated character. Black creates a sharper, more contemporary presence. Two distinct expressions, built around the same individually numbered timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the finish that defines the moment. Change it when the moment changes.

Any compatible strap in the collection fits — 12mm straps for the 24mm case, 20mm straps for the 36mm case — whether metal link, leather, or PVC, swapped by hand without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the case sizes refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers — 24mm, 36mm, and 42mm — refer to the watch head (the case that holds the dial and movement), not to wrist size. These are the available case sizes across the collection. A smaller case offers a more understated presence on the wrist; a larger case makes a stronger statement. Choose the case size that matches how you want the watch to look and wear. Aureum is available in 24mm and 36mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Butendorff","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Round \/ 24 mm","offer_id":55721720185172,"sku":"AUR-BLK-RND-24","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55740154806612,"sku":"AUR-BLK-RND-36","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Square \/ 24 mm","offer_id":55890633687380,"sku":"AUR-BLK-SQ-24","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55890633720148,"sku":"AUR-BLK-SQ-36","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Round \/ 24 mm","offer_id":55721720217940,"sku":"AUR-SLV-RND-24","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55740154839380,"sku":"AUR-SLV-RND-36","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Square \/ 24 mm","offer_id":55890633752916,"sku":"AUR-SLV-SQ-24","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55890633785684,"sku":"AUR-SLV-SQ-36","price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Round \/ 24 mm","offer_id":56897272676692,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897272709460,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Square \/ 24 mm","offer_id":56897272742228,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897272774996,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Round \/ 24 mm","offer_id":56897272807764,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897272840532,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Square \/ 24 mm","offer_id":56897272873300,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897272906068,"sku":null,"price":9495.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/2750\/0628\/files\/Aureum2.png?v=1778653514","url":"https:\/\/christopherbutendorff.com\/products\/aureum","provider":"Christopher Butendorff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
