X Series Watch

X Series

X Series is a mechanical wristwatch inspired by the Transformers characters. The movement is arranged in an X shape that forms the dial and aligns with eight time positions covering the 24 hours, offering a simple way to read the time. The fully automatic movement is housed in a 316L steel case with a panoramic back that shows the mechanics in operation. The movement is ruthenium plated and polished, and it provides a power reserve of 72 hours. The strap carries a circuit board texture. The watch measures 255 mm in length, 42 mm in width and 12 mm in height.

Black Moon Watch

Black Moon

Black Moon is a wristwatch with an astronomical moon display. The lunar indication uses fragments of two lunar meteorites set on a slightly domed central disc. The new moon is cut from the dark Dhofar 457 meteorite, and the full moon from the lighter Gadamis 005. The current lunar phase is read at three o'clock, where the index is framed in red. A 135 tooth gear drives the moon complication, which deviates by only one day every 122 years. The case is polished grade 5 titanium with a domed sapphire crystal.

Vitro Wristwatch

Vitro

Vitro is a wristwatch that explores the idea of suspending time, both literally and conceptually. Its standout feature is a suspended movement design that creates the illusion of a floating dial, held in place by a triple crystal system which produces a shifting interplay of light and shadow. This sense of lightness extends to its one-piece strap, which adapts naturally to any wrist. Designed and crafted in Argentina from native hardwood and anodized aluminum, Vitro blends technology and craftsmanship to propose a more contemplative way of reading time.

Viage11 Modular Eyewear System

Viage11

Viage11 is a modular eyewear system that offers eleven styles from one pair of glasses. The temples are interchangeable, in classic and cable versions, and a set of clip-on accents can be fitted over the base frame without tools. The hinge is cut and folded from a single sheet of spring steel, so no screws, rivets or soldering are required. Base frames are made from 0.7 mm stainless steel sheets, while the accents use stainless steel, wood and acetate. Each frame weighs under 13 grams. The aim is to let one pair replace a wider collection.

XS Horizon Wrist Watch

XS Horizon

The XS Horizon watch employs a different approach to show time and was created to introduce a smaller unisex version to the collection. To visualize the present moment and distinguish the past from the future, the watch uses a line moving through time space. The past is depicted with a color shade that gradually fades away as it deviates from the present, while the future is represented by darkness. The aim of the project was to create a range of compact wrist watches suitable for all genders.
