CARTOGRAPHY
The Small Edition · Limited to 25 numbered pieces.
The idea
Cartography treats the dial as terrain. A flat matte olive reads as map rather than color — a surface you want to look across. The plain bezel is the frame, nothing more.
The dial
Olive matte with a deliberately even, non-reflective finish. Indices are slim and lume-filled for legibility in poor light. The type is set in monospace, like a legend.
The details
Plain steel bezel, gilt Mercedes hands, olive NATO strap. Exhibition sapphire caseback, individually engraved.
The foundation
Each FORME 06 begins with a proven mechanical foundation — Seiko NH35 automatic. The movement and core case architecture are sourced; they are not represented as Second Forme's own. What we design is everything you see and touch: the dial, the hands, the bezel, the caseback, the finish, the proportions.
Seiko NH35 automatic · 21,600 bph · 41h power reserve · hacking & hand-winding
The movement is the foundation. The design is the work.
