CLAVIUS – Analog or Digital?

At first glance, the BOTTA CLAVIUS challenges every convention of traditional watch design. There are no full-length hands, no numeric indicators, just a sleek, black dial where only the luminous green tips of the hour and minute hands glide silently along the edge. Minimalist in form yet rich in expression, the CLAVIUS tells time in a way that is at once futuristic and rooted in mechanical artistry. Its most captivating feature lies at the center: a black rotating disc with 57 tiny apertures. Behind each one, the white second hand briefly appears, ticking forward in perfect rhythm, second by second, until it completes a full rotation. Then, in a brief pause of movement, the BOTTA logo appears from the darkness before the cycle begins anew. This unexpected choreography feels like something from a digital display, yet it is purely analog, powered by a finely tuned Swiss automatic movement. Despite its unconventional design, the CLAVIUS is surprisingly easy to read and offers an engaging, meditative interaction with time. It invites curiosity, sparks conversation, and reflects the personality of its wearer: someone who values individuality, innovation, and the beauty of thoughtful engineering. Crafted from premium materials with screw-down case components for easy servicing, the CLAVIUS is not just a marvel of design, it’s also a durable, sustainable, and timeless statement piece.
