Debut
As the first Havid Nagan production model, it is my sincerest pleasure to introduce 3 bold, defining dial variations of the HN00. Each with their own brilliance and glimmer, the dials feature a Grain d’Orge circular guilloche, inspired by the traditional decorative practices of early dial making. While the practice’s origins are rooted in the 1500-1600’s, they were adopted by watchmakers in the 18th century. The dials are produced through multiple arduous processes to give them their respective hues. Finally, they are applied with lacquer to accentuate their radiating splendor. Havid Nagan’s entry into watchmaking will be marked by the HN00, an homage and modern reinterpretation of traditional watchmaking design.

grain d’orge guilloche
A cornerstone of traditional watchmaking, guilloche was done by hand with varying lathe machines to quite literally cut out pieces of the dial in specific pattern formation. The dial of HN00 features a stamped Gran d’Orge, or barleycorn, guilloche combined with a lacquer finish, marrying the art of traditional watchmaking to modern burnishing techniques.
logo and indices
The crests and troughs of the Grain d’Orge guilloche serve as an exquisite background for the applied indices and logo. The indices are filled with SuperLuminova to provide legibility in times of limited light. The applied logo, rooted from Aren’s own culture and ethnic background, is a symbol of eternity; the only fitting symbol for Havid Nagan.
