Creating the Jan Mayen Basalt Dial

Two years ago, we journeyed to the remote island of Jan Mayen, navigating a 10-day voyage to reach the Beerenberg volcano. With special permits in hand, we gathered basalt rock—a material shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions and the Earth’s powerful forces. Each dial in the Jan Mayen Basalt collection reveals the natural textures and gas pockets unique to this volcanic rock, a tangible piece of this secluded landscape. Through careful craftsmanship, we’ve preserved the rock’s raw character, bringing a fragment of Jan Mayen’s untamed beauty into every watch.
