Notes
The sextant was a crucial nautical navigation instrument that aided mankind’s conquest of the ocean during the Age of Discovery. Juvenia took elements of this instrument, translating them into a unique design that featured across the dial of the Sextant watches.
The presented example, purchased in 1985 by the original owner. It features a special dial using a protractor, a ruler, and a compass needle reimagined as the hands to indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds, giving this collection its distinctive and unconventional style.
