Flux Quadras

Flux Quadras is a mechanical wristwatch with an integrated bracelet. The layered case and seamless bracelet create a floating effect. The multi-layered dial has floating hour markers and a patterned backdrop for depth and clarity. The case is made of 904L stainless steel with an 800HV hardness coating, and measures 40mm in width and 12.5mm in height. A Swiss-made La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement is wound by wrist motion. The tool-less bracelet uses a patent-pending Nano-Adjust clasp that adapts passively for comfort.

18K Gold

Romano Rozay 18k rose and gold eyewear is handcrafted in the USA using traditional goldsmithing techniques. The design integrates jewelry making processes with structural engineering to define geometry aligned with facial structure an provide stability in wear. Each component is individually shaped, assembled, and finished by hand. The overall system is defined by material behavior, fabrication precision and structural performance.

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

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.

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.

Makina Andras I

Makina Watches wanted to design a black sheep in the rectangular watch category that's already full of art deco inspired dress watches. That's why Andras I was born as a sports watch with a bolder and more modern approach. Coated in stealth black, its stainless steel case is composed of slopes and angular shapes that make up its multifaceted design. Its octagonal case is designed to taper around a larger movement for less volume and increased wearability. Its dial is multi-layered and 3 dimensional and its strap is muscular and shapely to look more imposing from every angle.
