V - MATIC Chronograph - Design : HANNES WETTSTEIN Hannes Wettstein's extensive research on the classic chronograph was the basis of the concept of the V-MATIC , to replace fashion-ornaments with bold architecture and to give to the dial its original function as a measuring instrument.- Enhanced by the cool color of the titanium-case, the magnificently elaborate mechanical movement remains the only acceptable 'decorative element'. The centre-hub covers the 'messy' gathering of hands, leaving the dial free of any disturbance.

GÜNTER WERMEKES
UHR 1 / UHR 2	Günter Wermekes is known as a brilliant jewelry designer, a goldsmith by profession, - the material he has adopted as 'his' precious metal is stainless steel , mostly in combination with diamonds.- Fascinated by the purity of steel, Günter Wermekes knows how to work with it like few others.- Technical complexity is used to achieve deceiving simplicity. His objects reflect the material's strength and provide an impression of finality.- 'Uhr 1' (round) and 'Uhr 2' (rectangular) are indentically construced, most of the components are interchangeable. Both models have a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and are waterproof to 30 m. 'Uhr 1' is also available in a larger size with a self-winding mechanical movement and date.
FLEMMING BO HANSEN
'WATCH'	'Simplicity by elemination' is a credo of F.B. Hansen.- His work is based strictly on functionality. 'FLAT' is an outstanding example for this philosophy - an object of amazing architecture.- Precision-crafted in a high grade steel, 'FLAT' is available in a large and a small version. 'WATCH' was designed in 1989 and the first production started 1990 at a time, when digital time-pieces were totally out of fashion. Hansen's 'Watch' soon became legendary - no other wristwatch has ever received as many international design awards. Leading Museums such as the Museum of Modern Art have selected 'Watch' for their contemporary design collections. 'Watch' is available in two basic versions, with a water repellant calfskin leather strap or with a stainless steel solid link bracelet. - Limited special editions in 18K gold, platinium, tungsten carbide, titanium (left side) etc. are made from time to time.	'FLAT'
- 'Watch' and 'Flat' have a display that is protected by a scratchproof sapphire crystal and they are water resistant to 30 meters. -
