Each piece starts as a three-dimensional drawing, followed by prototypes and silicone molds for casting. The finished concrete parts are then joined with silver and leather. The collection invites a fresh look at Eastern European architectural heritage.

The dark blue dial is overlaid with silver and adorned with stars. The surface of the moon is reproduced with 3D printing technology. An infinitely adjustable clasp fits most wrists without holes in the strap, which simplifies manufacturing and saves materials. The strap can also be removed and replaced without tools.
