Atlas – Ebony

Automatic Movement - Prestigious Mechanics.

Miyota 8215 automatic movement gives a heartbeat for the watch. It is a real workhorse and lasts well maintained from father to son.

The movement doesn’t contain any electronics. It stores the running energy released from the wrist movement into a spring inside. There are 21 jewels in the movement to minimize the friction and ensure that the watch runs smoothly and precisely. It is fascinating to follow the movement in action through the sapphire glass back cover.

Ebony Wood - Dark Mystique.

There is no other wood like ebony. Its history goes back through the ages and enchants with its luscious richness. Few other woods have remained as popular for millennia: from ancient Egyptian tombs to Indian kings’ drinking cups and the handles of Japanese samurai swords, ebony has been worshiped because of its beauty and mystery.

You will understand the mystical allure of ebony as soon as you take a piece into your hand: the wood is almost black as midnight. Due to its popularity, most trees in the ebony family are nowadays endangered. That is why we are very selective about the origin of our ebony. We use only FSC-certified ebony, mainly from Mozambique.
