Orca

The orca is one of the most impressive creatures in the world—powerful, intelligent and at home in a realm we barely understand. This piece began with that idea: a creature that lives in its own kingdom beneath the surface of the ocean. Instead of depicting a dramatic breach or a hunting scene, the dial focuses on stillness. Sunlight cuts through deep water in soft gradients, and the whale moves without hurry, shaped more by atmosphere than detail.

The watch itself is a nod to independent watchmaking: the idea of creating something outside large, commercial structures, where small details and personal decisions matter more than mass appeal. The orca felt like the right metaphor for that—an apex creature that doesn’t need noise or spectacle to dominate its space.

The dial uses a controlled palette to evoke depth: layered blues shifting into shadow, with the whale emerging in a quiet silhouette. Up close, the surface shows subtle textures from the painting process, adding a sense of movement beneath the calm.

This piece is about the silent world below the waves—and the beauty that exists there, far from the surface.
