Argo watch

“he design pays a tribute to the Argo constellation and it is inspired by the ancient sextants used for celestial navigation”
In mythology, Argus was a shipwright, and he and his crew on the Argo had the protection of the goddess Hera. Legend had it that even beyond this divine protection, there was a magical piece of timber from the sacred forest of Dodona in the ship’s prow. After the success of the journey, Argo was consecrated to Poseidon. It was then transported to the sky and transformed into the Argo Navis constellation. We started our project taking inspiration from an astrolabe, as we wanted our watch to be a tribute to the Argo constellation, but we later decided to give it a different twist, opting for a sextant instead, a more recent instrument which is also more in line with our concept of minimal beauty and design. We have designed a double dial watch, engraved in different points and have chosen two color shades, Deep Blue and Black Sea, in honor of Argo’s mythical adventures. Initially, a bas-relief was considered, but after running a few tests, it has been noticed it was not the desired outcome for the timepiece, therefore it has been decided to use a double dial, with an engrave dial on a plain one, to make the final design memorable. 
Argo’s heart beats thanks to a Swiss Ronda 705 quartz movement, while the sapphire glass and the strong 316L brushed steel used for the case ensure even more resistance. All of this to guarantee high quality, for an excellent product which is as light and thin as possible. Despite its 40 mm case, Argo is as light as significantly smaller watches. We created three different color options (gold, silver and black) for the case; two (Deep Blue and Black Sea) for the dial and also six straps in two different materials (mesh and leather) and six different colors. We wanted to make Argo as customizable as possible, so that it can fully represent the person wearing it.

What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
We have poured our hearts and souls into these watches, developing products that we ourselves would be proud to wear. Suitable for any and all occasions, these are watches on the cutting edge, with all the wonder of true design innovation combined with the freedom that comes when you have found a great deal. After months of design and prototype work, we are proud to announce that we have finally completed our masterwork, a high-end watch whose design is one of a kind. This is the power of ARGO.
