The Cyrus Klepcys Mars is based on two different historical facts : The story of Cyrus and the face of Mars.

In 539 B.C Babylon the Great was conquered by Cyrus the Great. After looking at the legendary city walls and the Ziggurat (a 91 meters high tower located in the center of Babylon, it was considered back then as a gateway between Heaven and Earth), Cyrus pointed his finger towards Mars and said to his general Harpagus : « That will be our next conquest ».

It is quite simple : Be the main sponsor of a charity event held in Monaco that will be broadcast on Eurosport May 22nd at 7pm. This event should gather personnalities such as SAS The Prince Albert II of Monaco and famous formula one drivers such as Sebastian Vettel.

Too bad Cyrus is already doing all of that ! Starting tomorrow at  7pm you will have the opportunity to watch this football match live on TV. Cyrus is the main sponsor of the event and all the football shirt will bear the Cyrus’ logo.

Last friday, May 11th, Cyrus organized a dinner with collectors, watch aficionados and its local retailer : Temps & Passions.

I was also invited and I had the chance to meet very interesting people coming from France, Monaco, Italy and Russia. We had the chance to take a look at the future collections and future developments of the brand.

The dinner was full of passion and emotion, talking about Cyrus, watches and independent brands !

This week end (11, 12, 13 of May 2012), the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco will take place in Monte-Carlo. This G.P focuses on historic cars and motor sport.

The first Monaco Historic G.P took place in Monte-Carlo in 1997, the second one was in 2000 and now the events is held every two years.

Cyrus will be the sponsor of one of the historic cars, a Martini F3 MK39.

For those who don’t know what a cars like this looks like

Stay tuned for more pictures of the real car of Cyrus (this one is a standard MK39 !!).

Cyrus has recently unveiled the names of the Star Team that will play in Monaco on May 22nd 2012. The goal of the Star Team is to raise money for the Monaco charity Associations that helps children all over the world.

Take a look at the players list below.

Cyrus will be the main sponsor of a beautiful event that will take place in Monaco, May 22nd 2012. The Star Team for Children is a football match gathering public personalities (SAS Prince Albert II of Monaco, Bob Sinclair, Christian Karembeu, Freddy Nock ect..) versus the F1 Team (Michael Schumacher, Felippe Massa, Sebastian Vettel, Rubains Barichello ect..).

The Star Team of Monaco will have a very special shirt during this match. The logo of Cyrus will be on each shirts of each players. Check out the picture below to see the football shirt.

The thing that Cyrus does best out of all new independent watchmakers is providing content and news about the brand.
This latest video is entirely dedicated to their ambassador : Freddy Nock.

This video shows Freddy in action and I must say he looks ready for new challenges.

The only thing that you can do to look like Freddy is to buy two Cyrus Kuros and sport them on each of your wrist

If you take a closer look at the video you will see that Freddy wears the watches upside down in order to take a look at time without having to turn its wrists during a tightrope walk.

An another surprise was waiting for us at Baselworld 2012 : The Cyrus Klepcys Mars !

Cyrus seems to always be where you do not expect him. Who would have been able to imagine that Cyrus, after making the smallest three-dimensional gold moon available today, would create the smallest planet Mars available today in a wristwatch?

In July 1976 the Nasa spacecraft called Viking 1 was taking pictures of the planet Mars when it spotted some kind of human face, two miles long, on the surface of the planet. This picture made the front news during several years and it is still being discussed today.

Cyrus is playing with both reality, technicality and dreams. The watch has, of course, been created with Jean-François Mojon.

I had the chance to see the Cyrus booth at Baselworld 2012 and take a few pictures of the new Cyrus Klepcys 539-003-B. It is a two colors, black and red gold version, it looks the same as the first Cyrus Klepcys except that it is a little bit more aggressive, more masculine.

Have a look at the Cyrus Klepcys 539.003.B

Yesterday I showed you a few pictures of the Cyrus Kuros 598-003-B (blue) but today I will show some pictures, also taken at Baselworld 2012, of the Cyrus Kuros 598-004-B (red).

Just like the blue one, this version is more ready for summer than the other ones
