Every Supernova creation begins with a question about the role a watch plays in the world as it is now.
The question is not about complications or ornament. It is about purpose: what a watch should protect, and what it should make possible. We start there, and the watch follows.
SN 2140 is the first answer. It sits between tradition and tomorrow, faithful to Swiss watchmaking and unafraid of what the present is asking of it.
We wanted an object that holds its ground as fine watchmaking, and that carries a conviction about privacy without ever raising its voice.
Restraint,
held as a value.
A watch you control, that says nothing until you decide otherwise. It waits for you to start the conversation.
A mechanical heart, finished by hand, made to be kept and passed on. Most things are built to be replaced. We would rather make one worth keeping.
Co-founder, from independent watchmaking. He cares about the personal object you wear every day, and about the SN 2140 remaining, first and last, a watch worth wearing.
Co-founder and engineer, with a joint doctorate and a background in wireless and antenna work. He holds privacy as a basic right, and spent two years making the watch's capability disappear into the object.
Meet the SN 2140: the case, the movement, the materials, and the two years behind them.
