From hand-tools to tool watch. In a world dominated by complex digital devices, hand-tools are soothing landmarks which are dedicated to a single purpose, made to age, and not predestined to obsolescence. They embody simplicity and sustainability.
The CB01 is the archetype of the sustainable watch: mechanical, simple, reliable, repairable, timeless…made to stay out of fashion cycles. Naturally gorgeous in its simple function. Taking on a patina over time. Even more beautiful after years of use.
When Cédric Bellon first approached the project, he thought that he just had to use recycled materials to succeed. Soon by developing the watch with Watch Angels they have realized that a true sustainable project is much more than that. It's about finding what is needed from an existing “circle”, transform it into a new “circle” and, finally, made it ready for its future “circle”. In fact, to process in a cycle.
The CB01 case-body and dial are made of from 100% PuReSteel® recyled 316L stainless steel produced in Swiss. The case-back and buckle are made from repurposed scrap 316L steel from our factory.
