Malunga ne-Janus Iwotshi Yesihlahla

IJanus yiwotshi yesihlahla enezidleli ezibini kunye nebhanti elitshintshekayo. Omabini amacala anokusetyenziswa, ngoko ke umnxibi angaguqula ityesi, atshintshe izidleli aze atshintshe amabhanti ukuze ahambelane nempahla nemisebenzi yemihla ngemihla. Esinye isidleli siqhutywa yintshukumo ezenzekelayo (automatic movement) kanti esinye siqhutywa yintshukumo yequartz, nto leyo evumela ukuba kufundwe imimandla yamaxesha emibini. Ityesi kunye neelagi ezinkulu zenziwe ngesinyithi esingadleki (stainless steel) kwaye zifumana inkqubo ende yokupolisha. Inkqubo yokuqhoboshela efihlakeleyo kwiilagi ibamba ibhanti ngaphandle kwamalungu ashukumayo angaphezulu. Amabhanti enziwe ngesikhumba sokwenene.

Ukuqatshelwa

Malunga ne-Ibhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award

Janus Iwotshi Yesihlahla ngumphumeleli weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award, ukuqatshelwa okuhlonitshwayo kakhulu okunikwa imiyilo yeklasi yokuqala, ephawulekayo nentle. Abaphumeleleyo beGolide ziimveliso ezintsha kakhulu, ezinombono ongaphaya nezikhazimlayo ezibonisa ubuchule, ubulumko nobuchule babayili bazo. Janus Iwotshi Yesihlahla iyathenjwa ukuba ibe yimveliso edunyiswe kakhulu, ebeka umkhwa nekumgangatho wesikhumbuzo enikela ixabiso elingazange libonwe. Lo myilo uphumeleleyo weIbhaso Legolide le-A' Design Award yiprojekthi emangalisayo nehlonelwayo eluncedo kakhulu kwaye inyusa imida yobugcisa, inzululwazi, uyilo kunye nobuchwephesha. Janus Iwotshi Yesihlahla idala iimvakalelo ezinzulu zonqweno, ivusa umdla, ikhuthaza ukuyila kwaye iyasikhwebela.

Ikhithi Yeendaba

Iziqinisekiso, amalungu eqela kunye neenkcukacha zobugcisa ezinikezelwe ngumyili.

Iimpawu Ezizodwa: This is probably the world first Automatic watch combining dual-dials with interchangeable strap. User can flip and/or switch dials, change straps to match their daily outfit and activities. With its iconic case and oversized lugs, it has charisma and provides extra functionalities for analog watch lovers.
Imilinganiselo nePakishini: Watchcase: 34mm x 14mm x 43mm
Watch strap: 180mm x 24mm
Watch box: 180mm x 185mm x 65mm
Iithegi: Dual-dial, Automatic, Analog, Wristwatch, Light luxury, Man accessory
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: 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.
Umngeni Woyilo: 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.
Uphando: 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.
Inkuthazo: 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.
Ubude Beprojekthi: The project started in September 2014 in Shanghai and finished in November 2018 in Shanghai.
Ukuhamba Komsebenzi: Operate the watch like a normal watch, use the crowns to set time on both sides.
Un-clip the lugs to change strap.
