Om Flux Quadras Armbåndsur
Flux Quadras er et mekanisk armbåndsur med integreret lænke. Den lagdelte urkasse og den sømløse lænke skaber en svævende effekt. Den flerlagede urskive har svævende timemarkører og en mønstret baggrund, der giver dybde og klarhed. Urkassen er fremstillet af 904L rustfrit stål med en hærdningsbelægning på 800HV og måler 40 mm i bredden og 12,5 mm i højden. Et schweizisk fremstillet La Joux Perret G101 automatisk urværk trækkes op af håndleddets bevægelser. Den værktøjsfri lænke anvender en patentanmeldt Nano-Adjust-lås, der tilpasser sig passivt for optimal komfort.

- Produktionsteknologi
- The Quadras stands out with a first-of-its-kind completely tool-less bracelet, innovative engineering, and refined aesthetics. Unlike most watches crafted from 316L stainless steel, it uses 904L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and a richer sheen. Its Swiss-made custom La Joux Perret G101 movement features skeletonized bridges, an Airblade peripheral rotor, and floating hour markers for added depth. The bracelet offers a quick-release system, toolless links, and a patent-pending Nano-Adjust clasp that adapts passively for comfort.
- Designudfordring
- The Quadras is our statement that the same manufacturers behind collectible watches can achieve high horology. We pushed them beyond stock catalogs to create a unique design. Developing the first-of-its-kind fully tool-less bracelet required overcoming engineering challenges. Our patent-pending Nano-Adjust clasp allows users to fine-tune bracelet tension for optimal comfort. Communication was a hurdle, as all partners collaborated entirely online, refining in real-time via prototyping and mobile 3D design.
- Forskning
- Our design research for the Flux Quadras focused on material innovation, wearability, and user experience. Using direct prototyping, 3D modeling, and mechanical simulations, we tested structural integrity and ergonomics. Feedback from collectors guided refinements. This research led to our patent-pending Nano-Adjust clasp and the novel invention of our tool-less links, improving real-world comfort and setting new industry standards in accessibility and design longevity.
- Inspiration
- The Flux Quadras was inspired by a shared passion for watches between myself, a lifelong enthusiast, and my partner, a YouTube watch reviewer. We connected through an online forum, united by a desire to create more than just a collection. Our goal was to craft a watch that dared to innovate, introducing features not seen before at an accessible price. The Quadras embodies our vision of blending originality, practicality, and timeless design, redefining value in the luxury market.
- Projektvarighed
- The project started in 2024 in Aruba and California, United States. It is ongoing.
- Driftsflow
- It is a mechanical wristwatch. It is an automatic movement so it winds up more power with wrist motion.
