you view it from different angles.
One moment, it is introspective
and thoughtful, then a winding of
the spring activates an automaton
movement which opens the jaw, and
it appears to grin with dark humor.
In addition to its haute chic, there
is much to admire in the horological
prowess of this timepiece. The
ceramic case is high-tech, bringing
a solid lightness to both form and
function. The choice of ceramic
for both the case and the skull
decoration will ensure a lightweight
feel on the wrist despite its
substantial size of 45mm by 46.5mm,
one destined to draw attention.
Obscuring the BR-CAL.208
movement behind the imposing
skull maintains a minimalistic and
ultra modern façade and enhances
the atmosphere of digitization. The
baton-shaped indexes of the dial
play along, appearing almost as
virtual hints of information.
Unlike the mysteries of
cyberspace, all is revealed when the
watch is turned over. A sapphirecrystal
caseback gives the viewer a
glimpse of the unknown, and proves
there is method to the madness
glimpsed in the eyes of the Cyber
Skull. This watch is a departure from
the vintage style, but it remains true
to the intentions of the Skull series.
The BR 01 Cyber Skull is an
art piece at its heart, designed
to marry the experience of our
past to the understanding of our
future and to encourage us to
contemplate the changing nature of
our world — our digital life, death
and everything in between.
