The Radio Room dial design is rooted in maritime history, inspired by the Radio Room Act of 1912, passed after the Titanic disaster. The act mandated radio silence intervals so distress signals could be clearly received at sea.
These intervals were visually marked on radio room clocks using contrasting red segments, a design faithfully recreated on this watch. The result is a timepiece that looks and feels more like a piece of shipboard instrumentation than traditional jewelry.
