Paris Toulouse GMT
In March I was traveling in europe and mostly left my work back at home. But on a train from Paris to Toulouse I pulled out my laptop and doodled up a quick sketch of a GMT watch. The doodling included drawing my own font for the watch and then sculpting the case design around a Sellita SW330 movement.
Over the next few months I tinkered with the design and started prototyping the dial, hands and case. Prototype one was completed in late October and I’m now pre-releasing a limited run of 10 of these unique timepieces.
The entire watch, case, crown, dial and hands are carved out of grade 5 titanium billet for an incredibly lightweight, slim and comfortable wear. The dial is ceramic coated and has recessed pips of Superluminova lume at each hour mark. The hour and minute hand are raw titanium finish and the GMT hand is anodized blue. The sweep second is ceramic coated a morning sun yellow.
A few minor changes will be made to the finished versions including higher contrast paint on the dial and slightly larger hour pips.

Initials or a name may be engraved on your case back
Your watch will ship with a FKM (Viton) Vulcanized Rubber band. Ask about color options at time of ordering.

As a single human watchmaking factory the delivery time of your timepiece is somewhat flexible. I’m slowly streamlining the process of standardizing parts and tools to speed up the manufacturing but even still, expect three months from order to delivery. Maybe less. Maybe a lil bit more. I’ll keep you in the loop.
