TOWSON DRIVER

The outer dial is made of solid sterling silver with applied black indices atop of the elegant brushed finish. The inner dial is uniquely skeletonized, exhibiting a dynamic layout of hand-guilloche outer-dials that overlap with one another, forming a sense of single-plane sculptural abstraction. The skeletonized dial also features rose gold elements, adding a formal elegance to the timepiece. A lone second hand, painted in red, completes the complex aesthetic with a bold statement of contrasting tone. The glossy-finished groove pattern is achieved using a hand-operated rose engine that allows for meticulous precision. This base plate is skeletonized for the TWC calligraphy artwork at 4 o’clock. The rhodium-coated gears and blued screws create a one-of-a-kind contrast to the sparkling black background. A torch was taken to the sterling silver portion of the dial and heated until it was completely tarred. The residue on the surface of these dial rings were then sanded by hand, revealing pure silver with natural color hues and finish. Prior to the movement’s assembly, each component is cut out, engraved, and plated in either rhodium or gold.
