This unique timepiece features a mechanical gong and hammer alarm, reminiscent of a minute repeater, producing a beautiful sound that gently guides you into a state of concentration and then signals when it’s time to move on.

The inspiration for Fading Hours stemmed from a daily challenge: the difficulty of consistently achieving and sustaining deep focus.

While mobile phone alarms are commonly used for time management, they bring a constant stream of distractions.

As watch enthusiasts, we recognized the potential of a mechanical watch to address this issue, but the market lacked a suitable solution. This realization sparked our journey to create Fading Hours.

When its alarm function is activated, Fading Hours aims to liberate the wearer from the distractions of everyday life, allowing time to fade into the background as you dedicate yourself to the work in front of you. 

Technical Highlights of Fading hours
