Aevum x Garage Hira Ippin Fordite titanium automatic

From Aevum Timepieces

The Ippin is truly one of a kind, just like its Japanese name means. This model uses a handmade Fordite dial where two are never alike, housed in a handmade titanium case with a torched titanium chapter ring and case back. The hand crafting goes a step further on this bespoke model with a manually pad printed "平" (Hira) logo finished in a BGW9 and white ink mix. The Ippin doesn't stop with the one off work yet - the handmade strap is our first ever shark and Italian leather-backed strap ever made. Full Ippin Fordite titanium automatic specifications: Dimensions: 41.6mm wide x 50mm lug to lug, 20mm lug width, 13.3mm thick on the wrist (including sapphire crystal in measurement). Case: Handmade lathe turned Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 titanium. Movement: NH-35 automatic 3 hand movement with a 41 hour power reserve. Water resistance: estimated low at 10ATM until we purchase a pressure tester that can exceed 10ATM, however these utilize a 20ATM capable 0.8mm rear compression gasketed with triple screw down crowns so we suspect they'll perform at a much higher ATM rating, we just can't confirm the numbers yet. Crystal: thick double domed and high chamfered sapphire crystal with blue tinge anti-reflection coating. Dial: handmade Fordite one off dial with dark chrome hands. Hand pad printed BGW9 infused paint for a lumed logo. Crown: 7mm Aevum x Garage Hira double-wrench artwork and high grip knurled crown. Screw down triple gasket design. Case back: Handmade lathe turned screw down case back with hand torched blue finish that locks down a 0.8mm compression gasket for water resistance. Leather strap: The Ippin comes with one 100% handmade by us in-house shark and Italian leather-backed strap with quick release spring bars. It is tapered from 20mm to 18mm at the laser engraved Aevum buckle. Carry case: All Ippin titanium automatics come with a ABS plastic travel box with a custom in-house laser engraved top plate.
