Our debut watch was designed to showcase its vitreous enamel dial. Each one has been the sole focus of our in-house enamellers, from cutting the copper blank to the final printing, taking a minimum of 12 hours and years of experience to complete. 

For the design language, we looked to cartography for inspiration – finding old maps of the Scottish Highlands to encapsulate the detail, precision and craft of the brand’s ethos. This inspiration informed the two styles of bespoke numerals, as well as the hands, which resemble traditional compass needles.

In powder form, Parisian Blue is a bright ultramarine that, when fired, transforms into a deep and inky blue. Reminiscent of the enamel street signs in Paris, serendipitously this particular enamel itself originates from the Aquitaine region of France.

Our watchmakers applied themselves to master the craft of heat tempering steel. The hands are individually polished, then carefully heat-treated to an even and consistent straw-coloured finish.

A choice of hand-wound Sellita SW210, automatic La Joux-Perret G101, or the A1, our version of the G101. After assembly, we regulate the movement to suit your individual needs. Simple things like knowing which wrist you will wear it on can increase their accuracy.

Details

The A1 – our first decorated movement – was a collaboration with Glasgow-based artist Rachel Duckhouse. To start with, we asked what a traditional calibre – designed in the 1950s – might have looked like if modern decorative processes had been available. The answer saw us interpret Rachel’s pen and ink drawings with laser-engraving, multi-axis machining and advanced galvanic treatments, testing the capabilities of some of Switzerland’s top suppliers. Read more about the collaboration here
