Argo

Argo by Gravithin is a timepiece whose design is inspired by a sextant. It features an engraved double dial, available in two shades, Deep Blue and Black Sea, in honor of the Argo ship mythical adventures. Its heart beats thanks to a Swiss Ronda 705 quartz movement, while the sapphire glass and the strong 316L brushed steel ensure even more resistance. It is also 5ATM water-resistant. The watch is available in three different case colors (gold, silver, and black), two dial shades (Deep Blue and Black Sea) and six strap models, in two different materials.

Janus

Janus is a wristwatch with two dials and an interchangeable strap. Both sides can be used, so the wearer can flip the case, switch dials and change straps to suit daily clothing and activities. One dial is driven by an automatic movement and the other by a quartz movement, which allows two time zones to be read. The case and the oversized lugs are made of stainless steel and receive a long polishing process. A concealed clipping system in the lugs holds the strap without extra moving parts. The straps are made of genuine leather.

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.

The No 2

The No. 2 is a pair of sunglasses designed for durability and comfort. The frame is made from 0.5 mm ultra-thin Japanese shape-memory stainless steel, shaped by bending and folding without welding joints or screws. A patent-pending zero-screw locking hinge replaces traditional screws and barrel hinges, so hinges cannot loosen and screws cannot fall out. The frame weighs 18 grams. Polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant and block ultraviolet light. Medical-grade silicone nose pads and temple tips are hypoallergenic.
