Nº I
The object
A quiet watch, meant to be worn for a long time — and then, one day, given away. No logos on the dial. No spectacle. Just a piece of steel, a soft mesh, and one line of handwriting cut into the back.
— The Vælt studio, London
A 41 mm black dial. Grade 316L stainless case. Pitch-black mesh strap. Turn it over — a single line, engraved in the handwriting you choose.
