With a brand new year 2020, we are happy to introduce 9 new mod parts!! Seven new dials and two new hands.

Starting with hands...

BGW9 Polished Silver Snowflake Hands v2 *IMPROVED* - A SEIKO Mod Hands by Lucius Atelier
BGW9 Polished Silver Snowflake Hands v2 *IMPROVED*

Both labelled as v2 have dramatic changes to their dimensions. Especially for Mercedes hands, now it has a slimmer, sleeker and symmetrically angled profile. Next, Snowflake also have a drastic change in the hour hand shape that holds more true to its original lineage.

Additionally, we did not hold back and added as much layers of luminous pigment as possible. Without a doubt, resulted in brighter lume.

 

Next, our new dials.

 

STERILE WHITE ENAMEL DIALS 

These are highly glossy enamel white dials for individuals who likes sterile dials or wishes to customise their own creations onto a blank slate. This blank dial has four legs for either 3 and 4 o'clock crown position.

Holds extremely well by itself due to the exquisite finishing.

 

[OIL PAINTED] THE GREAT WAVE OFF KANAGAWA DIAL

Yes! We brought back hand painted Great Wave. But in a form of expressionism art.

[Oil Painted] The Great Wave off Kanagawa Dial - A SEIKO Mod Dial by Lucius Atelier
[Oil Painted] The Great Wave off Kanagawa Dial

This artwork is oil painted by a professional dial artist. This oil painted dials will possess a degree of 3-dimensional characteristic and it is painted with the artist's expression of The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

Each artwork requires about half a day's work to finish painting. Thereafter, dials are left to dry for at least a month before installing the mirror polished silver hour applied indices. In order to retain the impression of oil paints, there is no additional coating.

***Note: This artwork on the dial is micro-painted by hand. Therefore, each artwork on the dial will defer to a certain degree in terms of colour and contour. Expect some differences. No two pieces will look exactly the same.

Limited Edition.
Currently, only 10 pieces are ready for shipping. Rest will be pre-order basis.

 

LUMINOUS THE STARRY NIGHT DIAL (NO DATE, DATE & DAY DATE)

The Starry Night is an oil on canvas by Dutch post-impressionist painter, Vincent van Gogh, painted in June 1889. Regarded as among Van Gogh's finest works, The Starry Night is one of the most recognised paintings in the history of Western culture.

Luminous The Starry Night Dial (No Date) - 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 SEIKO Mod Dial by Lucius Atelier
100% Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Luminous Pigment

We are the world first to pioneer and introduce a Swiss fully luminous artwork watch dial.

Introducing a novel approach to dial making - Pushing the limits of dial making technology. That is, the luminous pigment is layered beneath the artwork. This novel approach is invented by us and only we can do it right. First of its kind and the only one of its kind in the watch industry.

Firstly, the base of the dial starts off with a white based coat. Secondly, 100% Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 is generously multilayered onto the white base dial. Thirdly, The Starry Night artwork is industrially printed onto a special crystal clear film. This film even with printed artwork still allows adequate UV to charge the luminous pigment and also allows the luminous pigment light to fluorescence through. Next, the artwork film is bond onto the luminous pigment directly using proprietary adhesive and methods.

All these into a 0.5mm dial thickness. Lastly, applied indices are punched onto the dial. These tedious production stages are conducted in three different industrial production plants. All of these efforts resulted in a unique and one of a kind dial in the world. A high definition clarity of The Starry Night in the day and a luminous piece of artwork in the night. This dial has a semi-glossy and grainy 3D texture that highlights the beauty of The Starry Night artwork in an unprecedented highest quality. Finished off with beveled mirror polished silver hour indices.
