Founded in London in 2025 by Sandor Mezei, this UK microbrand is defined by its signature sunbeam dials — 60 fine radiating lines engraved from centre to edge that create a shifting light-and-shadow texture. Entirely minimalist in execution: no indices, no logo on the dial, just baton hands over a textured surface. Each model carries a unique caseback engraved with artwork designed by the founder's brother, and the Midnight Fumé limited edition layers a dark-blue-to-black gradient over the sunbeam pattern. Press coverage from The Wind Up, Oracle of Time, and Watch Country UK followed quickly after the 2025 Kickstarter debut.
