THIS DESIGN EXPLORES HOW TONAL VARIATION CAN CREATE VISUAL DEPTH.
THE EXPERIMENT
Rather than introducing multiple colors or graphic elements, this design explores how tonal variation can create visual depth. Different shades of blue work together across the dial, case and bracelet, allowing changes in light to define the watch rather than bold decoration. The result is a composition that feels calm, balanced and architectural, demonstrating how subtle shifts in tone can have as much impact as contrast.
The lightweight polycarbonate case provides a durable structure with a soft-touch finish that produces a consistent matte appearance. This controlled surface allows tonal variations across the dial to remain the visual focus without introducing unwanted reflections. Protected by mineral glass with a blue anti-reflective coating, the layered finishes remain clear in changing light, allowing subtle differences in color and texture to emerge naturally throughout the day.
MATERIAL SCIENCE
POLYCARBON
Polycarbonate behaves differently from steel. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, creating a softer, more controlled surface. As a result, color appears more even, with less glare and greater consistency across the watch. The material is lightweight, with a soft-touch coating that gives it a warmer, more tactile feel than metal or ceramic. This is why we use it as a core material. It gives us more control over how the watch looks and feels, allowing each design to be shaped through material, not just form.
