Wilbur Watch Co. introduces a new bright purple colorway, dubbed Superviolet, to its Supermachine Leo range.
The bold hue is spotlighted on the silicone strap and dial.
Hand-finished with an anti-reflective coating, it is crafted from titanium with an exhibition caseback.
Measuring a sizeable 46mm, it fits on the wrist with impressive ergonomics thanks to low-sitting strap lugs.
The Supermachine Leo JW1.6 model was based on a proprietary code system that displays jumping hours and a space-age-inspired alloy never used before in movement development.
Resulting in the brand’s first in-house movement, the Wilbur Engine One, the Leo collection took seven years to design.
Supermachine Leo JW1.6 watch’s distinct futuristic aesthetic is inspired by the mysteries of the Roswell Incident, represented via cryptic symbols and partial numeral sequences in a nod to otherworldly language.
Diverting from the usual minutes and seconds hands, the skeletonized watch face features a seconds dial to the top, a minutes dial to the bottom, and hours in the middle.
This forward-thinking new representation of the time is an extension of its space inspirations, and reading becomes second nature once one knows where to look.
Elsewhere, for the jump hour, two suspended and overlapping discs display a series of proprietary symbols that overlap to show the hour numerals in a display of mechanical art.
