The Jan Mayen Basalt Dial

The heart of the Jan Mayen Basalt Limited Edition lies in its extraordinary dial, meticulously crafted from thin wafers of volcanic basalt rock, sourced directly from the remote island of Jan Mayen. This process is an intricate blend of nature’s raw power and precise craftsmanship. Each basalt dial begins its journey on Jan Mayen Island, where our expedition team hand-collects volcanic rocks formed by the island’s dynamic geological history. These basalt stones, forged in the depths of the Earth, are then transformed through a painstaking, multi-step process that takes over a year to perfect.

Crafting the Basalt Dial

The Jan Mayen Basalt Limited Edition dial is made from volcanic basalt rock, sourced from the remote Jan Mayen Island. Each dial is crafted through a precise, year-long process that balances nature’s raw elements with intricate craftsmanship. Basalt rocks, collected by hand from the island, are carefully sliced into ultra-thin wafers, stabilized, and hand-polished to reveal their unique texture and grain. Mounted on brass dials available in two striking colorways—Grey, reflecting the island’s rugged landscape, and Red, symbolizing the fiery magmatic forces below—each dial is one of a kind, making every watch truly unique. This painstaking process ensures that the Jan Mayen Basalt dial captures the spirit of the island’s untamed beauty and showcases Straum’s dedication to innovative design and craftsmanship.
