Production Technology: Designed in Berlin and assembled in Pforzheim and Ruhla, where the art of watch-making is deeply rooted. The 316L surgical steel case is fitted with a sapphire-hardened mineral glass and a sun-cut dial and Superluminova on the hands and hours dial. The leather strap is plant-tanned that means we only use natural substances and no aggressive ingredients during the process.
Design Challenge: It is always a challenge to find the right suppliers when it comes to sustainable and environmentally friendly products that don't cost a fortune. We found suppliers who could implement our design to the standards we were looking for.
Research: The design and idea is based on the first watch model we created - the L1. With the L1 All Blue Edition we went further and brought all the highlights together and added an exeptional color. Like with all our new designs we are always trying to find new and the best sustainable methods and materials to produce our watches.
Inspiration: Inspired by the Berlin lifestyle and famous landmarks, the L1 All Blue combines quality "Made in Germany" and modern, sustainable design with a mesmerizing blue color. Small Berlin anecdotes are integrated into the Design of the watch: The embedded crown is shaped like the Weltzeituhr at Alexanderplatz, the fonts on the dial are the ones used in the street signs of the eastern and in the western part of Berlin.
Project Duration: The Project started in 2017 and was completed in 2017.
Operation Flow: The L1 All Blue is a quartz wristwatch with a movement from Swiss manufacturer Ronda.
