A Watch Designed to Fade Into Use.
Chapter 1 is a mechanical watch designed around a simple question:
What if the interface just worked, and then stayed out of your way?
We began with interaction, not appearance.
The goal wasn't novelty. It was coherence.
Settled From the First Wear.
The 10.5mm thick case & geometry was refined through multiple prototypes until the watch sat naturally and stayed there.
Downward-curved lugs follow the wrist rather than sit above it, allowing the watch to wear small and feel balanced across a wide range of wrists.
You adjust it once. Then forget about it.
One Crown. Four Functions.
All functions are controlled through a single crown using the patented Unicrown internal bezel system.
- Position A (clockwise): Winding
- Position A (counter-clockwise): Internal bezel rotation (120 clicks)
- Position B: Time setting (hacking seconds)
- Position C: Date correction
Engagement is deliberate rather than delicate.
The crown never asks you to be careful.
The Bezel That Stays Put.
The internal bezel is evenly resisted across all 120 positions. There is no drift. No free movement.
You set it for elapsed time or a second timezone. It stays where you leave it.
This is not a dive bezel. It's a timing tool for everyday use.
Finishing That Serves the Design.
Surfaces are finished to soften reflections and reduce visual noise.
The dial, timing ring, and crystal work together to maintain clarity from every angle.
Bracelet articulation and taper were refined to support the case without competing with it.
Nothing asks for attention. Everything holds its place.
