About this entry

67% of key specs known. Missing: lug-to-lug, weight, hardening, AR coating, lume.

Designed by Vic Lee in a mix of Victorian lettering, tattoo art and circus imagery: each hour is marked by the first letter of its number, and two rotating printed discs at the centre form a changing kaleidoscope in place of a seconds hand; no date. The brand's page confirms only a Swiss automatic behind a glass exhibition back and no longer lists specs, so the rest comes from reviews. The Calibrated Wrist (2022): STP1-11, 316L steel with black DLC on the black version, 40mm, 11mm thick including the slightly proud bevelled flat sapphire, 18mm lugs, 50m, push-pull crown, screw-down caseback with a mineral-glass window, padded leather strap 18-16mm with quick-release pins. aBlogtoWatch (2017) confirms the 40mm steel case, sapphire front, mineral display back and STP1-11, and reports a first run of 50 pieces at GBP 285; the Calibrated Wrist quotes GBP 395 in 2022. Variant case finishes are from the photos and SKUs: Black (85-D1) is the black DLC case, Silver (85-V0) plain steel. Both were sold out on 2026-10-25 and the listing isn't tagged in the store's current collection; the brand hasn't said whether it is discontinued.
