Inspired by midcentury architecture and design the typsim architect takes its cues from modern greats like max bill and dieter rams to offer up a clean, form following function wristwatch. offered in stainless steel with stepped bezel, screw-down crown, and cyan highlights, this watch will easily serve as your everyday timepiece.
TRUE GILT DIAL
Nothing captures craftsmanship like a negative-relief, galvanically-coated, gilt dial. This laborious, multistep process exposes the polished dial plate for subtle depth and a dynamic play of light. Featuring the next generation gilt dial, the Architect continues to demonstrate the depths achieved through this process while maintaining legibility in all lights and angles.
EXCLUSIVE LUMINESCENCE COMPOUND
In stark contrast to an industry of immutable materials, Typsim celebrates the story watches tell through intentional material selection. Working with RC Tritec, the maker of Swiss SuperLuminova, Typsim has created an exclusive luminescence compound that will naturally patina with time. Starting out the slightest shade of off-white, the luminous plots will develop a creamy-to-yellow hue depending on wear. Don’t worry, we’re not using radioactive materials.
OPTICAL ACRYLIC CRYSTAL
Clarity and legibility are achieved with a domed, optical acrylic crystal. Otherwise known as Hesalite or Plexiglas, this material offers superior characteristics – highly impact resistant, unclouded edge-to-edge clarity, and material stability for water resistance. Acrylic crystals tell the stories of ownership and are a charming element of luxury, vintage watches.
100 METERS WATER RESISTANCE
Designed for versatile use, the Typsim Noir achieves 10 ATM (100 meters) of water resistance, the rating required for swimming and other light-duty, water activities. Water resistance is attained with a triple-gasketed, screw down crown, screw down case back, and precisely fit stainless steel bezel and optical acrylic crystal which is all rigorously engineered and tested to current standards so you can wear your watch confidently.
SWISS CHRONOMETER MOVEMENT
Fundamental to the longevity of a watch is a dependable, serviceable, and precise movement. The chronometer grade Sellita SW300-1 meets the highest standards of timekeeping and is built to exceptional tolerances. It is an automatic movement beating at 28,800 beat/hour (or 4hz), provides a 56-hour power reserve, and robust anti-shock system.
