This is one of the three model families introduced by the newly revitalized Milus during BaselWeek at The HYPE this past March.

This is, to my way of thinking, a pretty cool departure from the norm, and what is expected.  Most brands will make a brass dial, paint it and call it done.  Even when they go for some "effects" the effects are really more "affectation".  The dial is of fiberglass!  Think about that for a moment!  

I am a guy trapped in three different periods.  I am a huge fan of Bauhaus, but also of mid-century modern (Eames, et. al.) Atomic Ranch sensibilities.  BUT... I am somewhat partial to things that work well, in a modern context, without needing constant repair and attention.  The Lab 01 ticks all of those boxes for me!

It is available in three different color ways - light grey (above), dark grey and blue.  Having seen them all in person?  They are dope!  And at a suggested retail price of CHF 990?  C'mon, you can't beat that with a stick!

The case measures 40 mm, and is polished stainless steel. Hours, minutes and seconds, the movement is Sellita's SW200.
