VÆR / 01 on black velvet, a line of light along its polished bevel.

VÆR / 01

One watch. Nothing extra.

Thirty-nine millimetres of titanium, a dark brushed dial and a movement you can watch through the back. VÆR / 01 has three hands and no date. That was the brief, and it stayed that way.

The automatic movement under raking light: bridges, rotor, ruby jewels and the balance wheel.

01

Movement

Automatic, beating at 4 Hz: 28,800 vibrations an hour, which is why the seconds hand glides in eight small steps a second instead of ticking. Through the caseback you see straight-grained bridges, the rotor and the balance wheel.

Extreme macro of the case flank: brushed grain meeting the polished bevel.

02

Materials

Grade 5 titanium for the case, brushed on the flanks and mirror-polished on a narrow bevel, so a single line of light runs around the top edge. Sapphire on both sides.

VÆR / 01 on a wrist resting on an oak table, a navy wool cuff touching the case.

03

Strap

Dark calf leather, 20 mm at the lugs, tone-on-tone stitching and a titanium pin buckle. Quiet enough to disappear under a cuff.

Hands holding a brushing block against a case clamped in a wooden holder.

04

Craft

Every surface is finished by hand and checked under a loupe before anything moves on: raw, machined, brushed, polished, finished.
