Legacy Superconductor

William Henry is a studio that tells stories through timeless pieces, and our first watch design is a testament to that intention. The Legacy watch collection is a perfect blend of form and function, built around the extraordinary materials that have defined us. This limited-edition model features a dial crafted from Superconductor; a copper-niobium composite originally intended to become wire in a massive particle accelerator. The project was never completed, and this exotic patterned material was never drawn down to its final dimension. Very little of it exists, and we have enough to make a limited number of watch dials. The dial is housed in an aerospace grade titanium case, with a sapphire crystal and exhibition back revealing the Swiss automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 10 ATM/100 meters, and the hand-crafted leather strap features a custom stainless deployant clasp for easy wear and adjustment. Art and utility, beautifully wrought to reveal a remarkable story.
