Entry Description

DWISS R2 is a Swiss made watch with the unique “floating hours”, instead of a hour hand it uses a sapphire crystal disc to show the hours. Like an invisible hand, all you can see in the display is a floating triangle that points to the hours, filled with Super-LumiNova BG-W9 to help see the time in the dark.

The design inspirations comes from a formula one and an egg, called “Ovetto”(that in Italian means egg), a Rolex watch created in 1923 served as an idea to make a very slim case with an automatic movement. We used the same concept: using a bubble caseback to fit an automatic movement
