MANDETBROTE Secret Orbital II: Redefining Mechanical Watch Norms

For centuries, mechanical watches have tracked time in a linear, universally accepted manner. However, the independent watchmaker MANDETBROTE is crafting a narrative of its own with the Secret Orbital II, a project that endeavors to see time in an unprecedented light. Breaking away from the traditional circular movement of hands, this watch explores time’s untapped potential to move in more complex, geometrically inspired orbits. It’s a piece of horological innovation that both fascinates and provokes, extending an invitation to perceive and interact with time differently on an everyday basis.

The design of the Secret Orbital II is anything but ordinary. Built on the principle first introduced by the original Secret Orbital, this advanced model supplants the conventional round progression of hands with an inventive Geometric Orbital Time Indication System. Its groundbreaking design encourages wearers to see time more as an experience as opposed to a mere measurement.

The Secret Orbital II, with its innovative spirit, strikes a perfect harmonious balance with practicality. The watch is housed in a refined 40mm stainless steel case and is complemented by a sapphire crystal. Swiss Super-LumiNova ensures nocturnal legibility, while 5 ATM of water resistance facilitates everyday versatility. Keeping the focus fixed on functionality married with imagination, the watch is accompanied by a premium leather strap as well as an optional sportier FKM rubber strap.

Independent watchmaking is recognised and admired for its ceaseless quest to challenge and redefine established norms. The MANDETBROTE Secret Orbital II embodies this spirit exquisitely, striving to bridge the gap between the known and the unknown, all the while fostering a culture of originality combined with everyday usability.
