A distinctive design accentuating basic geometry. Special attention was paid to the oft-overlooked midcase, with a polished inner case band framed by brushed top and bottom rings. The essence of these parts is sculptural: a compelling view from all angles. The lugs are defined by their unique skeletonized opening, and by their length — elongated but curved to fit any wrist.

Both dials and hands lend balance to Series 1. Its hands and markers echo the shape of the lug, uniting different components for an often undervalued sense of cohesion. Across all three expressions, the dial was designed to allow attractive contrasts in material and texture without becoming overpowering. In its rose gold and platinum iterations, craftspeople transform simple materials into exceptional surfaces. By contrast, in the tantalum version, it is the beauty of the base materials themselves that draws the eye deeper in.

Continuing Series 1’s signature contrasts in texture, the movement includes frosted bridges, hand-polished chamfers, and a black-polished ratchet wheel displaying the Fleming logo. All are finely hand-finished, using traditional haute horlogerie techniques. The movement’s essential components are also largely visible, including its power reserve indicator, owing to its semi-skeletonized design. The varying finishes enhance the natural dynamism of a movement as well, where ambient light creates prismatic reflections.

A pin buckle, inspired by the lugs, was designed to ensure visibility of the movement and improve balance and ease of wear. Its design carries on the shape and skeletonization of the lugs, bringing Series 1’s cohesive design all around the wrist. The strap’s thickness and taper were also extensively tested and readjusted to ensure comfort, stability and aesthetics were all maximised.
