Description
The Havender dial is crafted from a specific layer of Scandinavian mussel shells. These shells undergo a meticulous process: they are bathed in a unique solution to strip away the outer layer, then the inner layer is finely ground using a hand drill. This results in a fine powder that is transformed into a lilac-hued composite block, ready for milling. It is then beautifully accented with white lumicast hour markers.
And the name? The Scandinavian word for ocean is "Hav". Hav + Lavender is, according to us, "Havender".
