The Finn watch is the baby of Richard Dunlop. The unique hexagonal design takes its inspiration from the Giant's Causeway, which according to our friends at Wikipedia -
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcaniceruption.[1][2] It is also known as Clochán an Aifir or Clochán na bhFomhórach in Irish[3] and tha Giant's Causey in Ulster-Scots.[4]

Now legend holds that this was not the result of natural events, but rather was the engineering endeavor of a giant named
Fionn mac Cumhaill (or Finn MacCool) to enable him to cross the water for a throw down with a Scottish giant Benandonner. At any rate, the hexagonal shape of the basalt columns is the inspiration for the design of the watch case and dial.

Although challenging to measure owing to the shape, the case weighs in at 41 mm and the movement is Ronda's 713.
