It started with Aventurine Shimmy Stardust, gone within hours. Then came Kingfisher Blue and the others, each finding its people before most had time to look. The Best of Both Worlds collaboration with Boris Pjanić and REM Straps brought in a new audience — many of whom became friends of the brand. What followed wasn't planned. A community formed around it, people who believed in the vision and kept showing up.
Artefact began as a hybrid, rooted in the idea of a true sports watch, and now concludes as a refined field watch. Versatile enough to go anywhere, yet considered enough to belong everywhere. Designed as a GADA piece at 39mm, it has presence without demanding attention — brushed surfaces, polished bevels, contrast through geometry, and an integrated bracelet tapering from 22.5mm to 18mm. Hardened to 1200 HV with 100 metres water resistance.
Final Frontier is its closing chapter. Artefact, in this form, ends here — what comes next sits in a different bracket entirely, with a different movement, standard, and price, built to compete at a higher level. This version was my take on a genre I care deeply about, made as a collector's value proposition without compromise.
Different in tone. Identical in intent. Sold only together — because that's how they were designed to exist.
Warm mineral brown that pulls light in rather than reflecting it. The texture shifts between matte and muted sheen depending on how you move. A dial that reveals itself slowly — the kind you notice more the longer you wear it.
Deep desaturated green with a sharper, more precise structure. Everything exactly where it belongs. A dial for those who think in systems — and want their watch to reflect that.
Artefact was designed as a GADA — go anywhere, do anything. At 39mm it holds its ground without demanding attention. Brushed surfaces meet polished bevels, contrast built through geometry rather than decoration.
The integrated bracelet tapers from 22.5mm to 18mm — a continuation of the case, not an addition to it. Hardened to 1200 HV. 100 metres water resistance. Built to outlast the decision to buy it.
"I didn't expect what formed around Artefact — the people who came through Kickstarter and stayed, the ones who kept showing up. That community shaped what this line became. Final Frontier is how I always wanted it to end: not discontinued, but complete. Terrain and Sector are the purest version of what Artefact was supposed to be. After this, I'm moving on to something built at a higher standard. But I wanted to close this chapter properly first."
