Official description

You just heard the click. Time to hurry. Pour water in the tank. Drop the collodion plate in. Wait a few seconds. Anticipation fills the room. The air is thick with the scent of chemicals. And here it comes — the moment of truth. The first photo of the new TYPE 3 BB2 is revealed to you.

To launch our new oil-filled watch, we chose the art of wet collodion photography, a mid-19th century monochrome technique known for its sharpness and distinctive aesthetics. This result is a portrait as striking and unique as the watch itself. An ancient photographic process to immortalise the future of watchmaking.

Meet the TYPE 3 BB2, awarded the 'Best of the Best' distinction in the Red Dot Design Award 2024 – think of it as the Oscars for product design.
