Gs/tp Atomic Watch

The Atomic watch dial is inspired by the futuristic design movement of the 1940s and 50s, responding to advances in atomic science, and fears of atomic war. The hour indices are connected by parabolic orbits, together creating a centre to the dial, enclosing the GS/TP signature. The outer minutes track is marked with pastel blue lollypops and the hours are printed in yellow.

The custom-milled surgical steel case is quad-screwed with a bubble back, finished with linear brushing on the sides, radial brushing on the back, and mirror polishing on the thruppenny bezel, inspired by a British ‘thruppenny bit’ (three pence coin), which was dodecagonal from 1936 until its withdrawal in 1971. The twelve points of the bezel line up with the hour indices.

The gently twisted bombe lugs are half drilled- the lug holes on the crown side are only semi drilled, while the lugs on the left side are fully drilled. This anachronistic detail, taken from some early Rolex models, combines the convenience of fully drilled lugs with a slightly cleaner profile on the crown side of the watch.
