Our signature carbon titanium composite was developed by our partner Fatcarbon. The very thin pre-preg carbon layers and fine titanium powder were alternately hand-layered and baked under pressure to form a solid piece of material.

The V1-X was the first drop from our art piece collection presented at the watchmakers club in London.

2019​
​

At Baselworld 2019 we launched the worlds first carbon titanium composite cased watch the V1+ CTi.

The V1+ CTi also featured a redesigned case with sharper angles on the side of the case giving it a more dynamic appearance while also reducing weight.

VX was our testbed watch for the upcoming V2 series. It featured the first version of our grade 5 titanium hour disc.

SUPER LIGHT

51 GRAMS 

To finish off the V1+ CTi, we optimised the design, reengineered the hour gear transmission and teamed up with the talented watchmaker Marc Jenni. He developed a new rotor that is lighter and increases the wearing comfort.

Once again we have teamed up with RC Tritec to create the 5-minute markers and the minute hand stripe in a custom colour adding to the striking appearance of the V1+ CTi while enhancing the practical aspects.
