Flawless Finishing

The flawless convex mirror dial of the watch was, according to several dial producers Isotope approached, impossible to achieve. Well, after many months and plenty of experimentation a flawless dial was achieved, created in a humidity-free environment, as even the breath of a watchmaker could mar the perfect finish. The results though, are worth it.

Classical Inspiration

A special dial demands details that match, and here, the finely finished hour, minute and small seconds hands are a contemporary take on classical 'leaf-shaped' hands, only here they're a little more specific. These mirror-finished lowing hands have been specifically inspired by the leafy pattern of a laurel wreath, a tribute to the herald Mercury.

Fine Lines

While, of course, the dial is what draws you in, don't sleep on the case. Perfectly sized at 38mm, this cushion-shaped case is clearly drawn from the same design influences as other aspects of the watch, as you can see from the angled knurling on the crown and the teardrop-like shape of the lugs. But every aspect has been given a modern twist, thanks to the mirror polish that accentuates every line.

Proven Powerhouse

One of the few elements on this watch that hasn't been given a high polish is the movement. Derived from the classic Pesaux 7001, this manually wound calibre features a bespoke bridge and offers 42 hours of power reserve.
