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.
Continue readingVitro 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.
Continue readingX 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.
Continue readingThe 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.
Continue readingMakina 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.
Continue readingKratistos is a wristwatch inspired by historical themes of leadership. Four sculpted lugs, shaped after lion fangs, join the leather strap to the case. The lugs hold the watch firmly on the wrist, add comfort and stop the case from rolling. The case is offered in stainless steel and titanium, with a French leather strap available in three sizes. A Swiss automatic movement, a double domed sapphire crystal and luminous indexes complete the design. Each edition is limited, and the lugs require careful artisanal work.
