The inspiration for the Isotope x Revolution Mercury comes right from the heart of the young English brand — the logo. Isotope's logo is a teardrop called the Lacrima. However, here on this watch, the teardrop is in liquid metal, an evolution of the form in two droplets, evoking the fluid nature of the reflective element. Of course, it's not the only reflective thing about this watch. The case, the hands and especially the dial have been polished to the highest possible degree, creating a timepiece that is akin to an art object. This is no accident, as the Isotope x Revolution Mercury is an amalgamation of not just its namesake metal but also the style and aesthetics of the sleek style of the Streamline Moderne movement and the god Mercury, the winged messenger of Roman antiquity. The result is a sporty yet classic dress watch, limited to 150 pieces.

Delivery is expected to commence at the end of June.

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.
