Further details:


In the constellation of Scorpius, periodically visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres, you will find Antares.

Antares is a red supergiant star that exhibits a rare character trait in our night sky...it is one of the few objects in the night sky that emits visible, natural colour to the naked eye. To be precise, Antares shows a reddish hue to our eyes.

I chose the name Antares as brass has a stunning natural colour and polishes & shines beautifully. While it is not as durable as steel (steel is primarily favoured for watchmaking), it adds a particularly interesting element to any design...it oxidizes and will age over time. This creates a patina all its' own which makes an interesting piece even more interesting as it gets older.

The watch case is handmade from a solid billet of brass and conveys exposed, natural metal and clean, interesting lines while featuring a very unusual lug design. With few exceptions, there is little decoration...simply the metal and what needs to be present.
