Melted Watch
A watch that appears to be melting off your wrist.
The case is pulled and distorted, as though it had been left somewhere warm. Roman numerals sit on a dial that no longer holds a straight line. Anyone who knows the reference will say something. Anyone who does not will still look twice.
The Detail
Distorted, deliberately.
An irregular case that catches light at angles a round watch never could. No two viewings of it are quite the same.
Roman numerals.
The most traditional dial there is, set on the least traditional case. That tension is the whole idea.
Ten millimetres deep.
Slim for something this expressive. It still slides under a cuff when the moment calls for it.
A clasp you do not see.
The closure sits hidden inside the strap, so nothing interrupts the shape.

Taking Care Of It
Keep the leather dry.
Three bar handles rain and handwashing. Not built for showering, swimming or diving. Water is harder on the strap than on the case.
The crown stays closed.
Pull it out only when the watch is completely dry, and push it fully home afterwards.
The strap will change.
Leather darkens and softens over the first months. That is the material doing what it should.
The battery.
A quartz movement runs for years on one cell. When the second hand starts jumping in two second steps, that is the signal to have it changed.
