Engraved Orb

Before the automatic rotor. Before the quartz oscillator. Before any of it — there was the crown.

You wind the Engraved Orb by hand. A few turns each morning, or every other morning, and the mainspring stores enough energy to carry the day. It is the oldest relationship between a person and a watch — a small daily act that connects the wearer to the mechanism in a way that self-winding movements, by design, remove.

The dial is guilloché — concentric waves pressed into the metal surface, radiating outward from the centre with the precision of an engraving tool. The blued steel hands cut across it in a colour that exists only on steel that has been heated to exactly the right temperature. The gold Arabic numerals sit at each hour position, unambiguous and considered.

Flip the case. The ST3601 movement is visible through the exhibition back — wheels, springs, the balance oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Nothing hidden. Nothing approximated. Just a mechanism doing exactly what it was built to do.

Specifications & Details

The Engraved Orb passed our selection the moment we confirmed the movement.

A manual-wind ST3601 with an exhibition caseback is not a styling decision — it is a philosophical one. It assumes the wearer wants a relationship with the mechanism, not just a result from it. The guilloché dial and blued hands reinforce that assumption: this watch was designed for someone who looks closely, winds deliberately, and wears with intention.

We selected it because it is the most sincere watch in our collection — and sincerity, in watchmaking, is rarer than it sounds.
