The "W" watch
The "W" watch is a dive chronograph for the adventurous kind.
Its design and concept was born in the mind of Christophe Golay, a creator of innovative time-keepers, who was inspired by William's exploits in the world of freediving. Hence, the "W" was not meant to be a dive computer, but rather a time-piece for underwater adventure-seekers such as William.
Its concept resides in a removable safety cage set above the glass, allowing water to pass in-between, creating a magnifying effect underwater. The glass is also protected by this cage which will take the blow of real-life encouters in and out of the water.
