Experience a Masterpiece | HALF SKELLY

An artisanal masterpiece that accounts for all the reasons we crave mechanical horology. The cathedral hands are painted white and cut out to reveal the embossed guilloche base plate that serves for the dial. The glossy-finished groove pattern is achieved using a hand-operated rose engine that allows for meticulous precision. This base plate is skeletonized for the TWC calligraphy artwork at 4 o’clock. The rhodium-coated gears and blued screws create a one-of-a-kind contrast to the sparkling black background. A torch was taken to the sterling silver portion of the dial and heated until it was completely tarred. The residue on the surface of these dial rings were then sanded by hand, revealing pure silver with natural color hues and finish. Prior to the movement’s assembly, each component is cut out, engraved, and plated in either rhodium or gold.
