The 70s collection features a square, television-shaped case, contrasting with the asymmetrical Pano collection.
Artist Michael Moebius connects the watch's design and the brand's identity to his childhood memories of growing up in East Germany during the 1970s.
The watches are described as having an "elegant architecture and its quiet confidence," with the "Hexagrid dial" taking months to develop.
The "Stereo Panel" and "Tweed Amp" models use Caliber 36-11, while the "Vinyl Record" Limited Edition uses Caliber 36-10 with black rhodium plating.
Straps and bracelets are equipped with a tool-free quick-change system and interchangeable butterfly clasps, with on-the-fly bracelet adjustment.
Moebius found the watch appealed to both the hand and the eye, impressing him through its "sense of ease, its elegant architecture and its quiet confidence."
