Inspired by our own inspiration we worked hard to make something that hopefully has a few different strokes, doing the design due diligence and drawing direct lines to the automotive world; Like the two grooves on the pushers referenced from engine pistons, the angled teeth on bezel and crown borrowed from the gear box. Looking further the small hat on top of the hands tips it´s own hat to the same feature on classic instrument panels. The straps diamond pattern we sourced from the leather seats of classic Morgan and Ferraris.
Throughout the design we have the golden rule of this first and foremost doing it´s primary task of being a proper tool watch, and the design working in harmony with this.
The dial
The dial features a significant curvature and brushed surface as a small homage to the curves and finish of the classic car bodys, made by the hands of artisan coachbuilders.
The circular brushed surface gives the dial a slight "fume" feel, which we´re very proud off.
Valjoux 7750
For the heart we´ve chosen the industry reference; The ETA Valjoux 7750. A movement with decades of proven ground, used by most major watch makers, either in the past or present.
The movement is sported with our own rotor, featuring a design that draws inspiration from classical art deco car grills of the 1930s.
Materials
We´ve decided to do a aluminum bronze case with a no gap rubber strap, to make it a bit of a different combo. And we´re super happy with how they play together!
The glass is scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and the hand and hour markers are coated with "super luminova" luminous paint.
