HANDCRAFTED HANDS

Crafted from the same Finnish 316L stainless steel as the case, the hour hand features a distinctive arrow shape. Its fragile sharp points once halted the polishing process — a breakthrough came only after six months of dedicated refinement. The seconds hand’s tail disc receives a rounded bevel, and the hand stack is designed with a concave profile. The hands are then palladium-plated for enduring, stable color.

The seconds hand presents two main challenges. The first is the rounded bevel on the tail disc. As with the lugs, the optimal approach would be to produce it as a separate component, hand-finish the disc, and then rivet it to the hand — but this introduces a risk of loosening. We ultimately chose to form it from a single piece, with every contour executed entirely by hand. The second challenge lies in the concave hand-stack design, which is difficult to reach with finishing tools. After repeated adjustments and refinements, the results more than lived up to our expectations.

Flame-blued steel hands — created through high-temperature firing, a process that demands extreme precision in heat control and results in a very high rejection rate. Flame-blued steel hands are a rarity even among high-end independent watchmakers, and we have achieved them. The three hand-stack hubs retain their original steel color, adding visual depth while protecting the fragile oxide layer on the surface, thus eliminating the risk of rust from accidental damage during assembly. In finishing, we hold ourselves to the same uncompromising standard as our silver hands: all entirely hand-finished, with a rounded bevel on the seconds hand s tail disc and a concave hand-stack profile.
