Motel De Eclipse Sunburst Black

An eclipse is a rare celestial alignment light and shadow crossing paths for just a moment, leaving behind a memory that lingers far longer than its passing.

Motel De Eclipse is born from this natural phenomenon, an inspiration we translated into a reversible case two distinct faces, yet powered by a single dial. A rare harmony of duality and unity.

For a year, we studied, refined, and reimagined the essence of change. The result is not simply a watch, but a design that embodies balance, impermanence, and transformation.

Motel De Eclipse is the signature model of the brand, opening the path for Motel De toward global recognition and a stronger presence in the world of independent watchmaking.

Rotating Hour Disc

Instead of the abrupt change of a traditional jump hour, the hour disc of Motel De Eclipse rotates gradually within the upper window.
Each numeral appears slowly, flowing into the next, a quiet reminder of how time unfolds.
This continuous motion transforms the dial into a living expression of transition, echoing the fleeting beauty of an eclipse.

Retrograde Minute Arc

The lower dial features a retrograde minute display, sweeping elegantly across a 0–60 arc.

Together, the rotating hours and retrograde minutes create a dialogue of motion: one fluid, one sudden  shadow and light in perfect balance.
