Horizon

Creating a layered dial while meeting our strict thin-case profile requirements posed an engineering challenge, given the fragility of natural quartz within our thickness tolerances (0.45mm). Yet after extensive material research, its soft translucency, delicate grain and organic texture proved to be the most elegant reflection of the White Cliffs of Dover.

Creating a layered dial while meeting our strict thin-case profile requirements posed an engineering challenge, given the fragile nature of natural quartz within our thickness tolerances (0.45mm). Yet after extensive material research, its soft translucency, delicate grain and organic texture proved to be the most elegant reflection of the White Cliffs of Dover. Set above a Musou Black base that absorbs 99.4% of visible light, the natural quartz appears to float, creating a dial that feels both grounded and weightless.

Plated in 18k gold at an exceptional 10 micron thickness, the triangle pays a fitting tribute to the Battle of Britain. Above it, the numeral “12” is painted in black, in a bespoke typeface inspired by the original watch and carefully refined for this design.

The hands are CNC machined, giving them three-dimensional depth. Their precise angles and mirror-polished bevelled edges catch the light strikingly. This interplay of polish and angle adds visual depth and refinement, heightening the presence of the dial on the wrist.

The Italian suede leather strap is made to measure for the case, creating a seamless transition with no visible gaps. This harmonious integration enhances comfort, ease of wear and visual balance.

The 39.5mm case suits both slimmer and broader wrists, offering a harmonious balance of comfort and presence. Its refined proportions give the Horizon a natural elegance.

Protecting the dial is a double-domed sapphire crystal that enhances both durability and visual depth. Its anti-reflective coating minimises glare, ensuring the captivating details of the dial stay crisp in any light.
