Time and Space Watch

Davide Carbone — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 19:20:59 +0000

The Time and Space Watch brings Oliver Jeffers’ universe to the wrist, with a deep blue dial scattered with stars, constellations, planets, and four small symbols of human invention. A match, a lightbulb, a book, and a car replace traditional indexes, turning the watch face into a miniature story about fire, ideas, knowledge, and engineering. Drawn from Jeffers’ familiar world of curiosity and hand-drawn wonder, the design feels playful without becoming childish, imaginative without losing the character of a proper mechanical watch.

Each of the four symbolic indexes is hand-painted under magnification using micro brushes, with more than two hours and 12 steps required for each symbol. The result is a dial with small, human variations from one watch to the next. The rose-gold-plated stainless steel case frames the night-blue surface warmly, while the carved eight-pointed star on the crown and the exhibition case back continue the celestial language in quieter details. Inside, a modified NH35-ATD automatic movement powers the hours, minutes, and seconds.

Limited to 300 pieces worldwide, the watch comes in a hardcover book-style box designed in Jeffers’ visual language. Inside are the mechanical watch, original pages created for the collaboration, and an autograph from Oliver Jeffers with an individual number. Please note that this is a pre-order item. Shipping is expected in December 2026.

Gradient Watch Black

Davide Carbone — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 15:51:44 +0000

The dial starts out almost full—charcoal fading to near-ink—and then, minute by minute, a paler wedge slides across, carving new shapes out of the darkness. That’s the Black Gradient Watch in motion. Two stacked, semi-transparent disks mark hours and minutes, so time reveals itself as overlapping tones rather than ticking hands.

The 38 mm case keeps a clean, brushed finish; at 8.2 mm thin, it sits low like a piece of matte jewelry. Inside, a Miyota 2025 quartz movement moves the disks in precise steps, so the shift feels nearly continuous. Choose the supple calf-leather strap for a softer look or swap in the polished mesh band—both click on and off with quick-release pins, no tools needed. Each piece is individually numbered.

Gradient Watch Gold

Davide Carbone — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 15:38:53 +0000

The Gold Gradient Watch catches the light the moment you move your wrist. A soft, brushed gold case frames a dial that never quite looks the same twice: two translucent discs—one for hours, one for minutes—slide over each other, so time shows up as overlapping shades instead of ticking hands. A full wedge of shadow at breakfast, a slim crescent by late evening.

The case is an easy-wearing 38 mm, just over 8 mm thin, finished in PVD-coated stainless steel that keeps its glow without fuss. Inside, a dependable Miyota 2025 quartz movement nudges the discs forward in near-silent steps; you end up watching for the slow shift rather than listening for a tick.

A matching gold mesh bracelet snaps on with quick-release pins—swap it if you like, though the weave suits the finish almost too well. Each watch is individually numbered and boxed, ready to ship today.

Gradient Watch Rose Gold

Davide Carbone — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 15:34:09 +0000

The first thing you see is the color — a warm rose tone that sits somewhere between copper and blush. The next thing you see is that the dial won’t stay still. Two translucent disks keep sliding over one another, so every few minutes the little pie-slice of shadow shifts again. No hands, no tick. Just motion.

The case is 38 mm across and barely eight millimeters thick, brushed stainless under that rose-gold coating. It feels more like a slim bangle than a gadget on the wrist. Inside, a Miyota quartz engine nudges the disks forward in tiny steps; the movement is so quiet you end up watching for the change instead of listening. The mesh bracelet clicks off with quick-release pins if you want to swap straps, but the fine weave matches the finish so well you might never bother. Each watch gets its own serial number.

Gradient Watch Silver

Davide Carbone — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 15:22:16 +0000

A pale arc drifts across a silver dial—dark at twelve, almost white by three-o’clock—then keeps on sliding until the pattern begins again. That slow overlap is the whole idea behind the Silver Gradient Watch: two translucent disks, one for hours and one for minutes, turning time into shifting tone instead of ticking hands.

The 38 mm case is brushed stainless steel to match the polished mesh bracelet. At just over 8 mm thick, it sits close enough to the wrist to pass for a slim bangle under a cuff. Quick-release pins make strap swaps possible, but you may find the fine mesh hard to beat for texture and lightness. Inside, a Miyota 2025 quartz movement moves the disks in precise steps—no stutter, no audible tick. Every case back is individually numbered.

Cassini – Nemesis

Davide Carbone — Tue, 20 May 2025 13:58:49 +0000

Cassini – Nemesis is Anicorn’s latest automatic, built around a hexagon seen 746 million miles from Earth. That shape—a six-sided jet stream at Saturn’s north pole—shows up throughout the design: in the case, the crystal, the crown, and the movement of the second hand. The entire body is finished in sandblasted black PVD stainless steel with an anti-fingerprint coating. Even the lume is pulled from NASA’s data—Super-LumiNova® in a soft blue that traces the dial, markers, and hands.

The movement is a customized NH35-ATD with anthracite components and a 41-hour reserve, visible through an exhibition caseback. The rotor and bridge are finished in ruthenium with gold infill, offering just enough contrast without calling attention to themselves. The dial is etched in two layers, with markings based on actual measurements of Saturn’s jet stream—translated directly into timekeeping.

You can choose a steel bracelet or a black FKM rubber strap—both with quick-release ends. At 42mm x 41mm and under 15mm thick, the watch wears substantial but not bulky. 5ATM water resistance. No noise, no gimmicks—just clean geometry, quiet engineering, and a slow reference to something still turning above the clouds.

Max Bill Ladies Gold 47/7452.46

Davide Carbone — Thu, 15 May 2025 13:39:06 +0000

The gold finish gives this max bill Ladies watch a softer edge. The case is slim and matte, with sandblasted stainless steel coated in gold-toned PVD. A fine Milanese mesh strap matches the tone exactly—lightweight, smooth against the wrist, and easy to adjust with the quick-release clasp. The domed sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on both sides, keeping the white dial clear and legible. Inside, a quartz movement keeps quiet time. At 32.7 mm, it sits small but not fragile—well-proportioned, familiar, and unembellished, like the rest of the series.

Max Bill Ladies Gold and White 47/7451.02

Davide Carbone — Thu, 15 May 2025 13:34:24 +0000

This Junghans Max Bill Ladies watch features a slim 32.7 mm case in polished stainless steel, sandblasted and coated in gold-colored PVD. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, keeping the display clear and glare-free. A polished white leather strap with a microfiber lining adds contrast and softness, secured by a quick-release system for easy wear. Powered by a precise quartz movement, this model is water resistant up to 5 bar. Balanced and minimal, it carries the signature clarity of Max Bill’s original design—with a softer palette that suits both formal and everyday settings.

Junghans Max Bill Ladies, Dusty Pink & Earth Gray, 47/4555.02

Davide Carbone — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 22:18:50 +0000

Understated and softly sophisticated, this dusty pink and earth gray Max Bill Ladies model embraces a refined, modern aesthetic with confidence. The domed pink dial features Junghans’ hallmark fine hour markers, luminous white hands, and the discreet double dot at 12 o’clock—all framed by a polished stainless steel case that mirrors the curvature of the dial and crystal.

The earth gray leather strap grounds the design with a muted, neutral contrast, continuing the soft color-blocking concept that defines this trio of spring releases. A subtly integrated date window, color-matched to the dial, maintains the purity of the composition.

Measuring just 32.7 mm in diameter and under 7 mm in thickness, this timepiece offers exceptional comfort with a slim, lightweight profile. The domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures durability while adding a refined finish. Inside, the quartz Caliber J643.29 provides reliable precision.

This version is ideal for those drawn to delicate tones with a grounded contrast, offering a quiet statement rooted in Bauhaus clarity and timeless design.

Junghans Max Bill Ladies, Arctic Blue & Mint Green, 47/4554.02

Davide Carbone — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 22:05:45 +0000

Cool, clean, and quietly expressive, this arctic blue and mint green max bill Ladies watch channels the Bauhaus ethos through a lens of soft contrast. The matte stainless steel case frames an arctic blue dial with finely printed markers and luminous white hands, while a mint green leather strap adds an airy lift to the composition. This model exemplifies Junghans’ take on soft color blocking—where dial and strap tones complement rather than compete, enhancing the clarity of the minimalist layout.

The date display is finished in the same tone as the dial, maintaining the overall visual balance. The domed sapphire crystal adds both elegance and functionality, protecting the watch while subtly catching the light. Powered by the reliable quartz Caliber J643.29, and measuring just 6.9 mm in height, this watch is as wearable as it is visually fresh. A thoughtful, design-forward piece for those who love color but insist on coherence and craft.
