This drawing features the Olto-8 Chrono Gate. Colour takes center stage, with the dial shifting from deep purple to blue and flashing violet depending on the light. Capturing that subtle play across the textured guilloché and skeleton window required a slower, layered approach, emphasizing depth and dimensionality beyond monochrome.

The Time Key mechanism adds a delicate, functional detail, switching between 12-hour and 24-hour modes with a soft, almost musical click. The drawing highlights these elements, celebrating the watch’s mechanical intricacy, shifting tones, and the quiet poetry of its design.
