B-Theory

We begin with the Moon at the uppermost section of the case, as all early systems of time measurement were derived from local astronomy. This moon is crafted from a 6 mm custom lab-grown diamond and features a cover that opens and closes as it waxes and wanes. Precisely set to the home location of the owner, the moon's position on the watch corresponds to its appearance in the designated night sky. All of the gearwork for the moon is concealed beneath the dial, while the pusher is discreetly placed on the opposite side of the case from the crown.

At the heart of the piece lies the flying tourbillon, a mechanism that captures our enduring desire to measure and master time. Its architecture, inspired by the orbits of electrons around a nucleus and by the international symbol of atomic energy, reflects the precision and symmetry found in nature itself. Hand-wound and hand-finished, the tourbillon transforms mathematics and engineering into movement. It stands as a reminder that every attempt to quantify time is also an expression of wonder.

An intimate display of time, placed discreetly for the wearer alone. Inspired by the ergonomic ease of reading the time on a driver's watch, the display features white-gold hands and diamond indexes on the inner wrist, allowing a natural glance at the passing hours. The aesthetic recalls the curved elegance of early twentieth-century design (the Cartier Tank Cintrée, the Movado Polyplan, early Patek curved watches) while remaining unmistakably contemporary. In this way, B-Theory exists on two planes: as an expressive instrument of time and as a cultural artifact.
