Heat in Classic Copper

A more classic design with a Respektiv twist.  This one has options!  The case is 45mm in stainless steel with scratch resistant mineral glass.  The lugs and the crown guards have relief cut outs that give depth and interest.  The beveled bezel is stunning. 

The dial is solid copper, given the Respektiv Heat treatment.  The computer design is transferred to the copper using high heat and pressure.  The finishing of the dial is up to you.  The clean copper has a brushed rose color of bright coper that easily read.  There are only light signs hand made imperfections. 

If you like just a little dinge, the finish looks about like a penny, just starting to show signs of decay.

Or we can go full on Respektiv decay.  A little readability of the dial is lost but you get these amazing tones of red, grey, and copper.  It's hard to stop looking at.  In good light the numerals stand out bright and strong but in low light, you may have to look a little closer.  The finishing process here has limited control so the coloring pattern will vary and there will never be a piece quite like it.

If you want all 3 dials, I'll put them all in the box and if at a later date, we can switch them out.  Just send me a note as to which one you want the watch shipped with and the other 2 dials will ship in their own wrapped containers.

The movement is a 6498-1, salvaged from an old hunter style pocket watch.  The movement has been cleaned, oiled, and regulated at Respektiv.  All vintage movements come with a new mainspring to improve timing.  This movement is keeping excellent time.  At first glance, this appears as an un-finished movement but with a little closer inspection, there is some straight line graining with beveled and polished edges.  The hands from the old pocket watch are retained and have some age on them with just a few hints of decay.

Finishing out this build is a new leather alligator print strap with a black deployment clasp

As always with Respektiv, if you want any changes, just ask and it will happen.  Different hands, dial, case, strap?  Done.  Even better, just contact Respektiv and let's collaborate on a project designed by you, built by Respektiv.
