* The minimalist design of the Defakto Kinetik Modular watch aims to visually emphasize the interaction of its watch hands and the resulting geometrical constellations. The compact, three-piece 39 mm bronze (CnSu8) watchcase comes with a slightly brushed surface and contrasting PVD top ring and crown. The bronze material will develop a unique patina over time. The matt unicolor background of the dial contrasts sharply with the separated minute and hour indexes in a contrary color.
* The Bauhaus-inspired Defakto Kinetik Modular connects all three watch hands to the Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement via three identical disks. As they pass above, the skeletonized hands fully enclose minute and hour indexes of identical line strength. The see-through hands enable excellent readability as they constantly frame the indexes, creating a symmetrical pattern or interplay. The flowing second hand brings continuous movement into the kinetic scheme of the watch, constantly generating new geometric constellations and symmetrical overlays directly on the wrist of the wearer.
