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.

Lyra

Lyra is a pair of hearing aid glasses that joins hearing support with everyday eyewear. A six microphone array captures sound from a selected direction and reduces background noise. A rotatable speaker sits close to the ear canal and provides up to 40 decibels of gain for clearer speech. Adaptive noise reduction and feedback control help in complex sound environments. Lenses can be made for myopia, presbyopia or progressive correction. The intent is to give hearing support a non medical appearance suited to daily use.

The numerals are made of iron meteorite, a material that is cut and polished with care because only selected parts of the stone are suitable and the material is fragile. The cut lines are layered and then colored to add depth. The strap is inlaid with a hexagram symbol. Radiance is offered in eight colors to suit different styles of dress.

Aurora of Arthur

Aurora of Arthur is an automatic wristwatch inspired by the legend of King Arthur. The dial is made from natural mother-of-pearl, so each piece shows a unique pattern with a subtle fume effect. The case is made of 316L steel and shaped to recall dragon scale armour, while the winding crown takes the form of a crown. Sword-shaped hands and multifaceted hour markers are treated with luminous material for visibility in dim light. An open-heart aperture reveals the movement, and the rotor carries a carved dual-dragon motif. The band can be interchanged by the wearer.
