Lebond has released the Norman Foster Black Edition, a grade 5 titanium watch with a matte black DLC finish and anti fingerprint coating.
The design is credited to Norman Foster and the Norman Foster Foundation Design & Innovation Unit. The Black Edition shares its lugless case, bidirectional 12 hour bezel, and ETA 2892 A2 automatic movement with the Natural Titanium Edition, a material and finish shift, not a new architecture.
The case is 38.5 mm across and 10 mm thick, with 50 m water resistance, a matte black lacquered dial and hands with Super LumiNova, and a red perforated rotor visible through the sapphire caseback. Price is 3,500 euros, excluding taxes.
The appeal is direct: a major architect’s watch made with a small independent, not a grand maison, built around structure, visibility, and a restrained black titanium treatment.
