Built with stainless steel and hand lacquered polymer for the three spacecrafts completing the Starfleet Explorer, comes in a limited series of 99 pieces each in blue, green, and red.
The hours ring under the minutes disc is motionless, and has hand attached to it to indicate the hour by performing a complete revolution around the ring in 12 hours. The minutes of the clock are represented on the revolving disc located at the top of the station which is fixed through metal aperture centre. This new edition comes in a much more compact size-diameter 16.5cm, height 11cm. The Starfleet Explorer is a re-edition symbolising the first clock co-built by the two independent brands six years ago. The T-Rex is limited to 100 pieces worldwide. The hand-blown Murano glass dial sinks inward to indicate where time originates and comes in variations of green, deep blue and red Murano glass dials, which are vividly colored with metallic salts via age-old techniques of glassblowing. The clock is 30-cm tall and is made of stainless steel and palladium-plated brass and bronze and weighs approximately 2kg distributed over the two finely taloned feet. Whether you’re a complete beginner looking for an initial taster day or a professional seeking. Since 1858, the British Horological Institute has been training horologists in clock and watch repair and creation, and supporting the horological industry. Inspired by Jurassic Art the T-Rex bears resemblance to the eponymous king of beasts with its skeletonized body and Murano glass dial. Horology courses for clock and watch making are our passion. Two such introductions include the T-Rex-a minimalist clock face made of Murano glass and steel suspended between two jointed legs ending in taloned feet and the second is the Starfleet Explorer-an intergalactic spaceship-cum-table clock. the study of time related to Latin horologium from Ancient Greek (hrológion) instrument for telling the hour from (hra) hour, time, interfix-o-, and suffix -logy) is the study of the measurement of time. Together, the two have introduced some of the most out-of-the box creations to the world, inspired by the Jurassic ages and steps mankind have taken towards space exploration.
Either way, we’re eager to see where the brand goes from here.With more and more independent brands wow-ing the audience with their disruptive yet must-have designs, two names seem to stand out the most-Maximilian Busser’s brainchild MB&F and Arnaud Nicolas’ clock manufacture L’Epée. The OG Automatic won’t be for everyone, but considering only 100 of each reference have been produced, it also doesn’t have to be. If we’re being critical - as we must - for an entry price of $2,350 we’d like to see a more detailed set of hands fitted to indicate the time, but otherwise it’s a solid offering that has fairly mass-market appeal. Design choices aside, it’s nice to see a new player that walks the line of fashion without relying on cheap and disposable quartz movements in its watches.Īll told, it’s a strong effort considering neither Chow nor Fong entered this project with direct past experience in watchmaking. Powering these automatic watches is an ETA-supplied caliber, the compact 2671 to be precise. At present, we can only think of Hublot as another luxury watch brand to use a leather dial of any sorts - it’s out of the ordinary, yet the look works surprisingly well.

One of a handful of places where we see Fong’s fashion world influence in the overall design of the watch, these references use calfskin leather that is embossed with a pattern to replicate the look of crocodile skin (no crocs harmed here), which is then used for both the straps and dials of these watches.
The most out-of-the-ordinary offering from Vieren thus far is without question the Black Croc model.
Back to said bracelets for a moment, we were pleasantly surprised to see the use of a butterfly-style clasp, helping maintain a relatively slender profile on the inside of the wearer’s wrist. A polished 18k gold rehaut provides a perimeter accent - a nod to the two-tone watches that are falling back into favour these days, without going for a full-blown two-tone case and bracelet. While mostly monochromatic, white dial variants of the OG Automatic provide a minor touch of contrast.
