Perhaps Just Under the Radar...the Eternal Way

The blog formerly known as Tempus Fugit, which morphed into Henki Time is a labor of love. It makes no money, actually costs me a fair bit of money and time, but I wouldn't trade it for a million Hodinkees ; )

And perhaps the best part about it is that I get to come in contact with new brands, and the dreamers who have willed them to life. That's why I was so happy to get an email from Vitaliy Khodanov, the person behind Tactum Solis -

While there are a handful of models currently available (limited to 15 each), my personal favorite is the Eternal Way -

It is described thusly:

                            Eternal Way 

Eternal Way is built around the idea that the outer universe and the inner path are equally infinite. Planets, trajectories and layered space are not decorative elements, but signs of movement through the unknown. The watch becomes a small cosmology. 

                       Edition of 15 pieces.

The watch is conceived in a sort of modular approach with the inner watch being removable from the main case.
