Time,
read differently.

Two discs turn beneath a single fixed index. No hands, no complication — an instrument reduced to its essential gesture.

Set to your local time — the discs are moving now.

Design philosophy

For three centuries, hands have swept across a fixed dial.

North Watch turns the principle inside out — the dial itself moves, and time is read at a single, silent point.

The dial

One index.
Everything aligns to it.

  1. The indexA slim red baton, machined into the bezel at twelve. It never moves — it is the watch's true north.
  2. The hourThe outer disc, radially brushed anthracite, rotates until the present hour rests beneath the index.
  3. The minuteThe inner disc turns on its own axis, one step lower in the case. Hour above, minute below. Nothing else.

Materials

Case

Brushed steel

316L case, radial satin finish, gunmetal PVD

316L stainless steel, bead-blasted with polished chamfers.

Crystal

Sapphire crystal

Double-domed, inner anti-reflective coating

One restrained arc of light crosses the dome. The dial beneath it stays dark and legible.

Discs and index

Bead-blasted dial

Micro-brushed aluminium discs, galvanic anthracite

Ultra-light aluminium, radially brushed, galvanic anthracite. The index is a lacquered baton, recessed into a machined slot at twelve.

Strap

FKM rubber

Textured, quick-release, 20 mm

Textured FKM rubber, quick-release, 20 mm. Matte, so the case stays the brightest thing on the wrist.

Movement concept

Geared for discs,
not hands.

A precision movement, re-engineered so its final gears drive two balanced discs instead of a pair of hands. The rotation is continuous and perfectly silent; the discs are weighted so the watch sits as calmly on the wrist as it reads. A mechanical edition follows the first production run.

Questions

Answered
plainly.

Is time harder to read this way?

No. It is one glance at one point. The current hour and minute always rest beneath the fixed index. Most wearers read it fluently within a day, and faster than hands soon after.

Can I read it in the dark?

Yes. The index and the numerals are coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova, which charges in the light and glows in the dark.

Is the movement mechanical or quartz?

The first series uses a precision quartz movement re-geared to drive the discs: thin, exact and reliable. A mechanical edition is planned for a later series.

How is the time set without hands?

With the crown, as on any watch. Pull it out and the discs rotate together until your time rests beneath the index; push it home and the movement takes over.

Will it stand up to daily wear?

Yes. Sapphire crystal, a 316L steel case and 5 ATM water resistance make rain, hand-washing and everyday knocks no concern. It is not a dive watch.

Will it fit my wrist?

The case is 40 mm across, 46 mm lug to lug and 9.8 mm thick, a mid-size that suits most wrists.

The first series is planned for the second quarter of 2027. Leave your email address and you will be notified when it is released.
