The Model 3 Method – a collaboration with artisan cabinet makers Method Studio – is our most technically ambitious project to date. Starting life as a carved block of ash, we've translated the texture into enamel through a combination of technology and traditional craft. 

The organic texture lends itself very well to blue and green-hued enamels. We tested over ten different shades to find the ones that worked best with the texture and finish of the silver, finally landing on two colours – the vibrant Aqua and tranquil Lichen.

The design of the Model 3 is designed to accentuate the enamel dial. The case features a sleek bezel, slim profile, and trench-style lugs. The hands, inspired by vintage compass needles, are heat-treated in-house.

The rippling texture of the Model 3 Method dial started life as a block of ash, hand-carved to create a unique and organic texture. Through an advanced 3D scanning process, we translated the wooden texture to a CAD model.

The 3D model of the texture is scaled down and engraved into a die, which is then used to individually hand-stamp each silver dial blank.

Enamel is ground into a powder and applied to the dial blank with a paintbrush, layer by layer, before being fired in a kiln.
