The case architecture is inspired by Marcel Breuer's design for the former Whitney Museum and Brutalist forms.

The "dazzle" camouflage concept, originally used on WWI battleships to confuse enemy perception of proportion, is applied to the case, bracelet, and dial.

The finishing process involves CNC engraving, frosting with diamond dust, and brushing to achieve a matte finish across all planes.

The B/1 Double Dazzle variant features 350 natural diamonds on the dial, a design element linked to cofounder Phil Toledano's "geezer watch" aesthetic.

The titanium case measures 32mm by 30.6mm, with a thickness of 12.3mm including the sloping crystal.
