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.
