Timascus- a love affair
In May of 2019, our small team saw the incredible potential of Timascus as a material that could be incorporated into watchmaking. Since then we have been experimenting with the material and now, after nearly 4 years of work, we've made a series of 16 watches that we would like to release to the world.
Timascus guilloche
Since the beginning of the ideation process, incorporating our Curl Curl guilloche pattern into the Timascus dial was our key and singluar goal. This is a horoligcal first - no watchmaker has ever manufactured a Timascus guilloche dial!
No two watches the same
The pattern on the dial is a function of the organic grain in the Timascus material. Each Timascus billet is hand forged resulting in a unique and non-replicable grain through the material.
The color of the dial is determined by a proprietary anodisation process that is more or less controlled chaos. The smallest variances in the anodisation process need to be monitored- the temperature of the material, the concentration of the solutions, the cleanliness of the parts and even the humidity of the room can all have very large effects on the color, vibrancy and texture of the anodisation.
Because of the grain/pattern of the material and the anodisation process- no two dials, and therefore no two watches will ever be the same.
