Teosest Janus Käekell

Janus on kahe numbrilaua ja vahetatava rihmaga käekell. Kasutada saab mõlemat külge, nii et kandja saab korpust ümber pöörata, numbrilauda vahetada ja rihmasid vahetada vastavalt igapäevasele riietusele ja tegevustele. Ühte numbrilauda käitab automaatmehhanism ja teist kvartsmehhanism, mis võimaldab lugeda kahte ajavööndit. Korpus ja suuremõõtmelised kellasarved on valmistatud roostevabast terasest ning läbivad pika poleerimisprotsessi. Kellasarvedesse peidetud kinnitussüsteem hoiab rihma ilma lisanduvate liikuvate osadeta. Rihmad on valmistatud ehtsast nahast.

Pressimaterjalid

Disaineri esitatud autorid, meeskonnaliikmed ja tehnilised andmed.

Unikaalsed omadused: This is probably the world first Automatic watch combining dual-dials with interchangeable strap. User can flip and/or switch dials, change straps to match their daily outfit and activities. With its iconic case and oversized lugs, it has charisma and provides extra functionalities for analog watch lovers.
Mõõtmed ja pakend: Watchcase: 34mm x 14mm x 43mm
Watch strap: 180mm x 24mm
Watch box: 180mm x 185mm x 65mm
Sildid: Dual-dial, Automatic, Analog, Wristwatch, Light luxury, Man accessory
Tootmistehnoloogia: We offer a mix of automatic and quartz movements within one case. One side is powered by Chinese Peacock automatic caliber SL1701 while the other side is powered by Japanese Myota quartz. This gives the opportunity for dual time zone and double the space to develop creative dials.

Our unique clipping system has no extra moving parts and only use specific material resistance (from an invisible insert made of PP) to create the clipping spring feature. The design solution is striking visually and drove the design style from inside out, as we didn’t try to conceal it.

The watchcase and lugs are made of high quality steel (316L) with over 8h of polishing process (usual watch are polish under 2h). Our straps are made of genuine leather. Our NATO strap are made of a double-layered polyamide thread combining 3 strain of color to add depth and texture.
Disainiülesanne: Key challenge was to convince watch factories to produce prototypes and test again and again the various ideas we had. We designed every details, from the screws head to the handles so we had to run prototype for each parts, opening molds and doing refinements a the same time.
Uurimistöö: Heuristic design research based on guts feeling that something could still be improved in the watch industry. Initially our design had only one dial but we soon realize the potential to duplicate dials and offer dual time zones. The final clipping system for the strap with our semi flexible lug took over 2 years of refinement. We tested ourselves prototypes by wearing them and then adjusting details.
Inspiratsioon: Janus was born from this deep satisfaction of holding a high quality product. Something that feels right when wearing it. Not everything must be connected. The extra boost you need sometime to get things moving the way you want and to connect with a distant past where machines were crafted.
Projekti kestus: The project started in September 2014 in Shanghai and finished in November 2018 in Shanghai.
Tööprotsess: Operate the watch like a normal watch, use the crowns to set time on both sides.
Un-clip the lugs to change strap.
