Zeitwinkel Unveils 273¡ã Saphir Bleu Watch
Skeleton designs present watchmakers with a practical conundrum. How does a designer balance the desire to showcase the intricacies of a movement with the very real concerns of legibility? Rather than navigating the narrow path that balances skeleton aesthetics and utility, independent Swiss boutique brand Zeitwinkel has instead opted for a cleaner and materially simpler solution-a transparent blue sapphire dial.

At first glance, the BR Heritage looks a lot like the standard BR01 (or BR03) watch line. When you put the two together, you can easily see the differences. Aside from the vintage colors, the hands and indexes are a bit different. The BR Heritage goes Panerai style minimalist having less indicators on the dial. The hands - equally as effective - are more classically instrumental in design.
