THE BACKSTORY :

“Project 2021”. The Idea was to expose our design process with you and get your feedback to what you wanted from the next MHD watch.

We started with three design themes taking automotive influence from the 1930’s, 1950’s and 1970’s, which you can see below.

Inspired by the 1930's streamliner design period, such as Raymond Loewy products and vehicles (especially the trains) "The streamliner" is Limited in edition to 200 watches per colour way. Housed inside the 316L stainless steel case is the Japanese 26 Jewel Miyota 9132 automatic mechanical movement with power reserve, 24 hour sub dial and date window. 

The initial sketch proposal shown below is where the design process started.
