The Kelsus Chronograph starts with a mother of pearl dial—a material that shifts from warm ivory to cool silver depending on the angle and the light. No two dials look exactly the same. Each one is cut from natural shell, polished, and finished by hand. Under fluorescent office light, it's subtle and refined. Under sunlight, it comes alive.
The hands are blued steel—heated to exactly 300°C until they reach that deep, distinctive blue. This is one of the oldest finishing techniques in watchmaking, and one of the most unforgiving. Too little heat and the color is pale. Too much and it turns gray. The chronograph subdials at 3 and 9 track elapsed seconds and minutes, driven by the Sea Gull 1903—a proven column-wheel chronograph movement with over 40 hours of power reserve.
41mm brushed steel case. Sapphire crystal front and back. The Kelsus “K” applied at 12 o’clock.
