SpaceOne Worldtimer Owner Review : Different, radical and futuristic

A recent acquisition and, contrary to my usual practice, a presentation almost immediately, as this is simply a given. There's no need to get bogged down in the traditional technical details—dimensions, power reserve, etc.—all of that is anecdotal with this creation, which doesn't really have a dial, certainly no hands, and an ergonomics that might seem questionable. Here, we need to shift our vocabulary. Having passed fifty, I felt ready for a radically different watch, an object that tells the time, but for which this notion would be secondary, almost superfluous. I had already noticed SpaceOne for its early creations and its artistic universe focused on space. From our first encounter at Timefest 2025, the Worldtimer captivated me and wouldn't let me go. A futuristic spaceship that reconnected me to my childhood galactic fantasies of the 80s, somewhere where Captain Future would come to the aid of the Jedi from Star Wars. This watch is a work of art, practically a manifesto for a different way of seeing the world. It's a breath of fresh air that puts a smile on everyone's face. As soon as it's spotted, it encourages even the shyest to take the first step and inquire about its nature. No one cares how to tell the time or how it works. What captures attention is the design and the jewelry-like quality; it sparks everyone's interest. A few words are in order to highlight the complexity of this timepiece, from the exclusive titanium case—polished, brushed, and micro-blasted, chiseled and tapered according to Olivier Gamette's design—to the three sapphire crystal domes and the worldtimer complication with discs, developed in-house by Théo Auffret based on a Soprod movement. One question remained: comfort and wearability. Those doubts were dispelled after an hour on my wrist. A dream machine that quickly found its place. Better yet, it opened a new horizon in watchmaking.
