Permian Rift - Snowflake Obsidian

Inspired by the shifting geology of deep time, the Permian Rift pairs a slim micro-rotor movement with a clean, architectural case that leans dressy without feeling delicate.

Each dial is cut from natural stone, with unique grain and depth that makes every watch a true one-off. Applied indices and polished hands are carefully proportioned for clarity against the textured surface.

Fitted on a tapering vegetable-tanned Italian leather strap with a signed clasp.

A Closer Look

THE FINER DETAILS

High-Polished Hands and Indices

The hands and index are given a high polish finish for maximum legibility. The shiny surfaces catch and reflect light with every movement of the wrist, providing the perfect level of contrast against the stone dial.

Snowflake Obsidian

Snowflake Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. It forms when high-silica lava cools so rapidly that crystals cannot fully grow, creating a dark, glassy base. Over time, internal devitrification produces radial cristobalite clusters, the pale “snowflakes.” Highly prized since prehistory for cutting tools, blades, mirrors, and jewellery, it bridges geology, craftsmanship, and ancient ritual use worldwide.

A Refined Case, Architecturally Shaped

The Permian Rift’s case is designed to draw attention to the stone. The mid case stays slim, with a clean sunburst-brushed bezel and sharp polished chamfers running the length of each bezel step. Framing the dial without compromising structure. The result is compact, architectural, and quietly dressy without feeling delicate.
