Initially it appears not to make sense, releasing such a watch for a brand that up till now specialised in more utilitarian and tool watches, but understanding that the brand trajectory is slowly changing to a more serious and varied collection makes this more logical. Releasing this watch required an entirely new range to be created called “Exotica” which showcases more unique and interesting designs.
At present, the Exotica range represents the pinnacle of moVas’ capabilities in regards to case design and creativity. The first watch in the Exotica range which is called the Twin Timer has been in the works for the last 7 years and although there are still elements that can be improved, it was the right time to test whether such a design could be accepted by our followers. You can read about the development of the Twin Timer here. It is the first design we have created where we have truly embraced a more architectural and constructed aesthetic, pushing the boundaries of watch case construction while still keeping the design language of moVas.
What happens when conventional case construction and time telling are thrown out the window and completely re-imagined? That was the premise of this design. Time is represented by rotating discs for minute representation and a red triangle hand for hours. If this is a little confusing to you, there is also an option for regular 2 hand display or you can be creative and mix them up for both time zones.
Multi layered case construction has been a tradition for most new moVas watches. The Twin Timer continues this and further brings it to a higher level by overlapping each layer, revealing different parts of the construction while maintaining a 10atm water resistance and not relying on any cosmetic screws for it’s intricate appearance. The lugs are bolted and held together by the 4 large hex screws on the bracing member on the front giving this a potential option for different material usage in future models. The main case is broken down into more than 35 separate parts, compared to a regular watch case which only has around 5 parts. This would not have been possible without the experimentation and knowledge gained from work on previous models like the Oceaner.
A watch with such presence requires an equivalent and matching strap which is why it comes fitted with a striking red genuine lizard skin strap. Alternatively, for a more sporty/ machine aesthetic it can also be paired back with a reversible nitrate rubber tapering strap which is double sided depending on your preference. Our ‘super’ deployment buckle in a matching polished/ brushed finish is provided for ease of wear as it catches and releases without any visible push buttons.
The Twin Timer continues the use of a custom made movement by Seagull Watch Co. GMT/ Home time is at 9H (on the left) and Current time is at 3H ( on the right). Sweeping power reserve indicator is located at 12H (above) and Jumping Big Date display is at 6H ( below) with a customised skeleton rotor which is finished in a Black PVD and signed. The watches are subsequently timed and regulated in-house prior to release.
Such a technically imaginative design is not for the faint hearted, but considering the level of complexity, finish and movement complication, it fills the void of any collector yearning for that one special avant garde watch. The Twin Timer pushes into the realm of Haute Horology where most watches retail for alot more. A limited production of 25pc of this design has been made and each watch is numbered on the etched caseback.
