Specifications

It's no fun to have a watch with the same design as everyone else or a watch brand that everyone knows!
This is an interesting watch that is one of a kind in the world, made by transforming the body of an actual classic car into a wristwatch.
This watch has been handcrafted by skilled craftsmen from the body of a car, each with its own unique story.


The Minimalist watch is one of a kind, with a unique character that cannot be found anywhere else, thanks to the fact that the watch face is made from a recycled Mini car body.



The Minimalist collection captures the spirit of the small car.
The Mini was once a popular family car among working-class British people as it was an affordable and fuel-efficient car.
One of its charms was its simple design, which eliminated all unnecessary elements to the maximum extent possible.
However, it is rumoured that the dimensions of the door compartment were designed to fit a bottle of Mr Issigonis' favourite gin.



REC is a one-of-a-kind watch that has been repurposed from an authentic Mini car and brought back to life in modern times.



The case back is engraved with the original car's unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The accompanying booklet contains stories and photos from the owners of the cars that inspired the timepieces, allowing you to learn about the process of how the cars were transformed into watches.

A watch is the focal point of any outfit, whether it's a leather jacket, a casual style like jeans, or a more elegant look.



While each dial has its own unique character, the case itself is designed to be as simple as possible.
