Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020
The spiral labyrinth carved into the Argo Timepiece's dial surface activates profound archetypal resonances, suggesting the mythological journey inward toward center, the classical maze that Daedalus constructed, and the meditative paths walked by pilgrims across traditions seeking enlightenment through circumambulation, the concentric organization references both cosmological models of celestial spheres and the psychological topology of consciousness spiraling toward self-knowledge, the scattered luminescent indices may evoke celestial bodies, their varied sizes and positions suggesting planetary orbits or star fields that position the wearer as navigator of cosmic time, the chromatic selection carries symbolic weight wherein the deep blue traditionally associates with infinity, wisdom, and contemplation across cultural traditions from lapis lazuli sacred to ancient civilizations through to contemporary associations with trustworthiness and depth, the warm ochre numerals introduce an earthly counterpoint, grounding celestial aspiration in practical temporal measurement, while the vermillion seconds hand introduces vitality and urgency, the red that across traditions signals life force, passion, and the heartbeat's rhythm, the circular form itself represents wholeness, completion, and the eternal return, the ouroboros principle of time's cyclical nature, the name Argo references the mythological vessel that carried Jason and the Argonauts on their heroic quest, positioning this timepiece as instrument for the wearer's own journey through temporal waters, the integration of labyrinth and astronomical motifs suggests navigation through both external space and internal psychological terrain, transforming utilitarian timekeeping into contemplative practice
Argo by Gravithin is a timepiece whose design is inspired by a sextant. It features an engraved double dial, available in two shades, Deep Blue and Black Sea, in honor of the Argo ship mythical adventures. Its heart beats thanks to a Swiss Ronda 705 quartz movement, while the sapphire glass and the strong 316L brushed steel ensure even more resistance. It is also 5ATM water-resistant. The watch is available in three different case colors (gold, silver, and black), two dial shades (Deep Blue and Black Sea) and six strap models, in two different materials.
