In an industry often dominated by visual excess and asymmetrical trends, Horizon Watches charts a new course with the launch of the Spectrum collection.
Rooted in the fundamentals of proportion and enduring design, this SPECTRUM collection from Horizon Watches is now available through Red Army Watches (RAW) in Malaysia, marking a bold evolution for the independent brand.
Design That Dares to Be Different
The Spectrum collection represents “Phase 2” of Horizon’s design evolution, focusing on stronger geometry and refined detailing. At its core is a 38mm 316L stainless steel case that combines classic round proportions with modern, angular lugs. The case construction features a discreet signature “dimple” along the flank and a rhythm of contrasting finishes—sandblasted, circular, polished, and vertically brushed—that create a uniquely textured appearance.
Crowning the architectural case is a box-shaped “top-hat” sapphire crystal with a triple-layer anti-reflective coating, adding significant visual depth to the dial composition beneath.
A Multi-Plane Dial Worth Observation
The heart of the Spectrum is its innovative, multi-layered dial designed to play with light and reflection.
- Top Layer: CNC-machined from solid steel with deep ridges that reveal the vibrant layers below.
- Middle Layer: Nicknamed “the pizza,” this plate is divided into four colour quadrants designed to evoke emotional resonance.
- Outer Ring: Crafted from sapphire glass to refract light differently than the metal components, producing a subtle, shifting shimmer.
This kinetic artwork is powered by the Miyota 9015, a slim and reliable Japanese automatic movement. Horizon has elevated the calibre with a custom-designed, full-rounded tungsten rotor that mirrors the dial’s perfect symmetry.
Technical Specifications and Pricing
Every Horizon timepiece bears a meaningful message; the Spectrum features a quote from Stephen Hawking on its sapphire caseback: “The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities”.
