It allows angles and details that just wouldn’t be feasible or even possible in traditional watchmaking. Take, for example, the brand signature. Rather than just sticking to the dial, you can find the name on the side of the case with more depth and character than something like engraving would ever allow – and that’s all before you get to the concrete finish on something like the RAW Ornament. Quote The proportions of a Holthinrichs case simply don’t look or feel like a traditional wristwatch. The layers to the case, the incredibly intricate lugs, the recessed sides, it’s an architectural marvel. Honestly, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Michiel was indeed an architect before diving headfirst into horological obsession.
