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.

X Series Watch

X Series

X Series is a mechanical wristwatch inspired by the Transformers characters.

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.

Jam-Vision X Sbrusset Sunglasses

Jam-Vision X Sbrusset

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.
