'Legacy' Mokuti Automatic Timepiece by William Henry

William Henry is a studio that tells stories through timeless pieces, and our first watch design is a testament to that intention. The Legacy watch collection is a perfect blend of form and function, built around the extraordinary materials that have defined us. This limited-edition model features a dial crafted from MokuTi; a complex tapestry in titanium. The metal is created by forging 84 separate layers of 4 different alloys of aerospace-grade titanium into a finely patterned billet. This exquisitely detailed material is forged specifically for this project by one master artist located in Ukraine. After a detailed diamond polish, we use carefully applied heat to reveal the different alloys and final pattern in the dial.

The dial is housed in a titanium case, with a sapphire crystal and exhibition back revealing the Swiss automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 10 ATM/100 meters, and the hand-crafted leather strap features a custom stainless deployant clasp for easy wear and adjustment. Art and utility, beautifully wrought to reveal a remarkable story...
