About Janus Ručni sat
Janus je ručni sat sa dva brojčanika i zamenljivom narukvicom. Obe strane mogu da se koriste, tako da nosilac može da okrene kućište, promeni brojčanik i zameni narukvicu u skladu sa svakodnevnom odećom i aktivnostima. Jedan brojčanik pokreće automatski mehanizam, a drugi kvarcni mehanizam, što omogućava očitavanje dve vremenske zone. Kućište i predimenzionirane ušice izrađeni su od nerđajućeg čelika i prolaze kroz dug proces poliranja. Skriveni sistem kopči u ušicama drži narukvicu bez dodatnih pokretnih delova. Narukvice su izrađene od prave kože.

- Production Technology
- We offer a mix of automatic and quartz movements within one case. One side is powered by Chinese Peacock automatic caliber SL1701 while the other side is powered by Japanese Myota quartz. This gives the opportunity for dual time zone and double the space to develop creative dials.
Our unique clipping system has no extra moving parts and only use specific material resistance (from an invisible insert made of PP) to create the clipping spring feature. The design solution is striking visually and drove the design style from inside out, as we didn’t try to conceal it.
The watchcase and lugs are made of high quality steel (316L) with over 8h of polishing process (usual watch are polish under 2h). Our straps are made of genuine leather. Our NATO strap are made of a double-layered polyamide thread combining 3 strain of color to add depth and texture. - Design Challenge
- Key challenge was to convince watch factories to produce prototypes and test again and again the various ideas we had. We designed every details, from the screws head to the handles so we had to run prototype for each parts, opening molds and doing refinements a the same time.
- Research
- Heuristic design research based on guts feeling that something could still be improved in the watch industry. Initially our design had only one dial but we soon realize the potential to duplicate dials and offer dual time zones. The final clipping system for the strap with our semi flexible lug took over 2 years of refinement. We tested ourselves prototypes by wearing them and then adjusting details.
- Inspiration
- Janus was born from this deep satisfaction of holding a high quality product. Something that feels right when wearing it. Not everything must be connected. The extra boost you need sometime to get things moving the way you want and to connect with a distant past where machines were crafted.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2014 in Shanghai and finished in November 2018 in Shanghai.
- Operation Flow
- Operate the watch like a normal watch, use the crowns to set time on both sides.
Un-clip the lugs to change strap. - Patents
