In 2023 we are having some watch releases planned and one of them are the V1.2 of the bronze PEARL DIVER. We have finished almost all dial we made with LUMICAST and still have some cases left, this lead us to do some new excited stuff for our customers!

What is the case made of?

We are using the same cases like on our first run as they are already produced. This means a 22 mm lug size, 46 mm lug to lug and 40 mm case diameter. The height is with 13.5 mm including the sapphire crystal and domed bezel insert.


The hands and dial

The watches are available with either the old style or the new style of hands. Which has a bigger area for lume and a thinner border at the hands.


The dials are made out of different materials, such as Malachite, Aventurine and Turqouise stone, iron meteorite Aletai and a stunning fumée purple.


As requested by some of our supporters, we have added a minute track, and of course it is lumed! Minte track and hour marker both use SLN BGW9 Grade A ef, while the hour markers are applied as 3D luminescence blocks, the minute track is pad printed.

The movement

We still have more than 200x NH35A movements in stock which we bought this year and we would like to use them on the V1.2. The watch will have a ghost date position.

The strap

As strap we use a genuine leather strap with stitching on the sides. The leather of choice is the crazy horse.

Date of shipping is about April 2023, but we are trying to ship out earlier, it all depends on the dialmakers and lume application.

Early rendering stage of an upcoming project we are working on.  The renders are not final. There will be some changes like the bezel insert engraving style, hands. Additional dials. 41 mm diameter, 46 mm lug to lug, 12.50 mm height, powered by Sellita Elab Grade SW200-1 or Soprod Newton (could not decide yet). Lugs are 20 mm. Stainless Steel 316L with experimental hardening which gives the steel a hardness of 1800-3000 HV, we will provide a test report to proof our claims, just like with the lume, we like to verify what we promise and not just blind-trust our suppliers! Genuine Swiss Made Lumicast indices and chapter ring with highest possbile Grade of lume and some even have a lumicast dial (in the works). Hands are polished with middle chamfer. Box sapphire or maybe double domed (not decided yet). Exhibition case back. Parts are made in Switzerland and China with final assembly and QC in Switzerland with our watchmaker in La Chaux-de-Fonds. We ship from our Swiss Office worldwide. This way we can offer it at an affordable price. we are aiming at $649 including shipping. Each color will be limited to 50 pieces. How do you like it? The project is not named yet ^^

As we almost finished our pre order phase (only few pieces are left to ship) we are taking photos of our watches. It takes lots of time to set up the right lights, focus etc.
