About Wizer

Designed in Leeuwarden.

Wizer 01 takes shape in Leeuwarden, from the relationship between case and dial to its red and blue minute track.

We show the watch as it is developed: the working prototype, the separate dial and the calibre on which the first edition is built.

The story behind Wizer
Black Wizer prototype dial with red and blue minute track
From the development process: the first prototype dial

In development

The dial sets the rhythm.

The light hour markers, dark ground and two-colour minute track are being assessed under changing light for contrast and legibility. The final execution follows only after this test phase.

Design detail · provenance

Red and blue, drawn from two flags.

The red and blue on the minute track are drawn from the flags of the Netherlands and Friesland. The dial therefore refers both to the country and to Leeuwarden, where Wizer 01 is developed.

Wizer 01 · Working prototype

Case, bracelet and dial as one.

The workbench reveals what a render cannot: how the steel bracelet meets the case, how the profile sits on the wrist and how its colours respond to natural light.

Wizer 01 · What you see today

A watch assessed as a physical product.

A mechanical watch should not be judged from a render alone. Wizer therefore shows what is actually on the workbench, which decisions are already visible and which information only becomes final after the prototype phase.

What does ‘working prototype’ mean?

The watch shown is a physical piece in which the case, steel bracelet, dial and automatic movement function together. This allows the design to be assessed for more than appearance. The bracelet connection, case profile and dial legibility can be studied in real light and from several angles. A prototype is both evidence and a test instrument: it shows the current direction without pretending that every detail is already final.

Why use an automatic movement?

Wizer 01 uses a mechanical automatic movement with 24 synthetic jewel bearings. As the watch is worn, a rotor moves with the wrist and transfers that motion to the mainspring. The jewels support important pivot points and reduce friction in those locations. This engineering is not a hidden footnote, but part of the product itself. That is why we show both the complete watch and the movement being evaluated during the prototype phase.

Which design decisions are already visible?

The current Wizer 01 combines a dark dial with light hour markers, a red and blue minute track and a steel bracelet. In Leeuwarden, the proportions between those elements are being examined: how much space the dial needs, how the markers contrast under changing light and how the case and bracelet read as one object. Every photograph on this page shows the existing prototype rather than an imagined final product.

What do you receive before deciding?

Wizer 01 is developed by a small team, so the first production run is highly limited. The retail price is set at €499. Your registration gives you the final execution and full specifications as soon as they are ready. Nothing is reserved and no payment follows. Only then can you indicate whether you are interested in purchasing; the first production run is allocated separately.

Engineering · Automatic movement

Automatic.
24 jewels.

Your wrist movement winds the mechanical calibre while you wear it. The rotor transfers that motion to the mainspring. Its 24 synthetic jewel bearings reduce friction at important pivot points.

What will Wizer 01 cost?

The retail price of Wizer 01 is €499. Joining the waitlist is free and does not commit you to a purchase or payment.

When will Wizer 01 be available?

Wizer 01 is still in the prototype phase. Production and delivery timing will follow once the final execution has been established.

Is the watch shown the final model?

No. The photographs show a working physical prototype in which the case, steel bracelet, dial and automatic movement function together. Details and specifications may still change during testing.

Does joining the waitlist guarantee a watch?

No. Wizer 01 is developed by a small team and the first production run is highly limited. After receiving the final details you can indicate purchase interest; the first run is then allocated separately.
