Curator's Note — Proxima Gauge Green

Curator's Note

The Gauge Green landed on my desk fresh from the Tokyo fair, and it's the kind of watch that rewards close inspection. The 9015 movement is the foundation—a Japanese caliber you'll find in watches asking double the price. Pair that with genuine sapphire crystal and AR coating, a screw-down case back that reveals the movement, and the dial work is honest mechanical: no shortcuts, no pretense. This is a 39mm tool watch that knows exactly what it is.
