Milan

Automatic two-hand watch with tonneau-shaped case, green dial, and choice of strap.

GREEN-LIT

The Milan draws its inspiration from a surprising source, that of green-glazed ceramics. Green pottery has been produced across the world for millennia, from medieval Britain to ancient China, with rich hues that evoke those found in nature. The Milan looks to capture the magic of this timeless colour, and so its vibrant dial is what takes centre stage. It’s a rich emerald-green, with a mesmerizing pattern of concentric ridges. The dial has then been lacquered, to add richness to the surface and enhance the various green tones. The end result is a gamut of green shades that follow the lighter highlights and deeper hues seen in those historic ceramics. Set against this lustrous backdrop are polished silver batons and Arabic markers. These have a rounded top so that they catch the light from every angle, and they’re paired with a clean polished baton handset.

CLEAN CURVES

The brushed tonneau case is made from stainless steel and offers a clean contemporary look that doesn’t distract you from the stunning dial. The watch itself is nice and thin, measuring 10.6mm thick, with the curved portion on the case being only 7.2mm deep. Two key details of the case are the polished chamfer that runs along the top edges, and the engraved groove that traces the outer edge of the case sides. These break up the case side profile and provide points of interest, whilst not disturbing the overall clean lines of the case shape.

Inside the watch is a Swiss-made Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement. The premium calibre has 25 jewels, a 56-hour power reserve, and a 4Hz beat rate, as well as being 1mm thinner than the more common SW200. The calibre has also been modified to remove the seconds hand, and it’s been adjusted for accuracy in four positions. The movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal on the watch’s case back, and you’ll see that the rotor has been vapour coated to match the colour of the dial.

"A BOLD WATCH THAT DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD."

STORY

The Milan is inspired by the classic two-hand cushion-cased watches of the 1970s. These watches were notable for putting a spin on traditional two-hand watches through the use of unique cases shapes, dial textures and colours. The Milan looks to continue this tradition and is of course named after the famous Italian city. The reason for this is because firstly it aims to embody the spirit of the city during that era, and the name is also a nod to the fact that the dial was inspired by Italian green-glazed ceramics.
