The ancient Greek pre-socratic philosopher "Democritus"—whose name literally means "chosen of the people"— is not only considered by some to be the father of modern science, but he is also known as the "laughing philosopher" because he asserted that Euthmyia, or a state of cheerfulness and serenity, should be a prominent goal in one's life.
He was also the first to philosopher to posit that the 'Milky Way' is the light of stars finally reaching our perception, and that our universe could in fact be just one part of a multi-verse.
This distinct model made of amaranth and leadwood is dedicated to Democritus and his fundamental contributions to modern philosophy and science.

Core Features
Automatic Movement
Automatic watch movements represent the original and traditional functionality of wristwatches. This technology makes use of gravity and transforms the motion of your arm into energy to wind up your timepiece.
So that your automatic watch keeps running when it’s kept still, it features a power reserve with which it will keep running for 35-60 hours, depending on the type of inbuilt clockwork you have.
Stay in motion and your watch will do the same!
Amaranth
Radiant Purple Wood. Amaranth wood, also known as "purpleheart," is an exotic hardwood that has become increasingly popular in recent years for its unique grain and colour. This type of wood is found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, but we make sure only FSC-certified amaranth wood is used in our products. Its strength and durability provide the perfect conditions for making our watches and jewellery.
See-Through-Caseback
We know that it’s what is on the inside that counts - and that those values can also be really impressive! Models with a see-through caseback enable a unique view into the internal clockwork heart of your piece of nature. Particularly with our automatic models, your watch is equally impressive from the front side as well as from the back.
Metal-Core Technology
Our Metal-Core technology has been especially developed in order to make our watch constructions with natural materials even more durable. With timepieces that have this special type of construction, the clockwork is encased in an airtight metal jacket that guarantees a waterproofness of up to 5ATM.
We thereby unify the best of two worlds: natural diversity of materials & the longevity of our designs.
