The MECEXP MS1001 represents a fundamentally different approach to timekeeping - one that bridges traditional horology with modern electronic engineering. Founded in 2019 by industry veteran Jason, MECEXP was created to explore how emerging technologies could coexist with the tactile language of mechanical watches.
Rather than relying on a conventional gear train and mainspring, the MS1001 introduces a linear flyback system inspired by high-precision industrial machinery. Driven by a leadscrew mechanism, the hands move with controlled, deliberate motion, creating a visual rhythm that feels distinctly mechanical, yet unmistakably modern.
This is not a reinterpretation of heritage. It is a forward-looking instrument designed for collectors who value engineering curiosity, clarity of function, and purposeful innovation.
Why We Curated This
A genuinely new way of displaying time, not a cosmetic variation
Industrial-grade engineering translated into a wearable object
Appeals to collectors drawn to innovation beyond traditional mechanical movements
Movement & Engineering
At the heart of the MS1001 is a linear flyback movement inspired by the precision mechanics of 3D printers and CNC machinery. Instead of a traditional gear train, the hands are driven by a leadscrew system, producing smooth, controlled motion with exceptional accuracy.
The conventional mainspring is replaced by a rechargeable lithium battery, providing up to one month of power on a single charge. This simplified architecture reduces mechanical wear while maintaining the tactile presence expected of a serious timepiece.
An integrated optical tracking sensor detects crown input and communicates with a high-precision control chip, automatically aligning the hands. This ensures consistent accuracy without the need for manual recalibration - a seamless fusion of electronics and horological logic.
Design & Case Construction
The MS1001’s case reflects the same engineering-led philosophy as its movement. Crafted from recyclable premium steel or titanium, each case undergoes meticulous finishing through sandblasting, brushing, and polishing to achieve crisp edges and a refined, industrial aesthetic.
The result is a watch that feels purposeful rather than decorative - clean in form, precise in execution, and confident in its restraint.
Legibility & Everyday Use
To enhance usability, the MS1001 features a discreet LED backlight, allowing the time to be read clearly in low-light conditions without disrupting the watch’s minimalist appearance.
Combined with its reliable power reserve, automated hand alignment, and robust construction, the MS1001 is designed not just as a concept piece, but as a practical daily companion for modern wear.
On the Wrist
Despite its unconventional movement, the MS1001 wears with balance and comfort. The case proportions and smooth finishing allow it to sit naturally on the wrist, while the linear hand motion adds a subtle kinetic presence that reveals itself over time rather than demanding attention.
It’s a watch that invites curiosity from those who notice - and rewards those who look closer.

The NO IDENTITY Cuboid is a distinctive timepiece that blends modern design with understated sophistication. Crafted from stainless steel, the watch is defined by its asymmetrical case architecture and bold dial layout - offering a contemporary reinterpretation of familiar luxury codes.
Inspired by paper artist Labeg’s imaginative reinterpretations of iconic integrated sports-watch designs, the Cuboid embraces playful distortion and refined imbalance. Rather than replicating tradition, it pays quiet homage through form, proportion, and attitude - introducing a whimsical yet considered character that sets it apart.
The result is a watch that feels expressive without excess, confident without formality, and unmistakably individual.
Why We Curated This
A sculptural reinterpretation of a classic luxury sports-watch silhouette
Artistic influence that prioritises expression over imitation
Proven mechanical reliability beneath a bold, design-forward exterior
Design & Artistic Influence
The Cuboid draws from Labeg’s paper watch creations, where iconic designs are reimagined through altered geometry and playful abstraction. This influence is evident in the Cuboid’s asymmetrical case shape and striking dial composition, where visual balance is achieved through intent rather than symmetry.
While the design nods subtly to the language of integrated sports watches, it avoids direct replication. Instead, the Cuboid introduces a fresh, contemporary perspective - one that feels casual, creative, and quietly refined.
Movement & Reliability
At its core, the Cuboid is powered by the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, selected for its slim profile, dependable accuracy, and proven durability. This trusted calibre ensures that the watch’s artistic expression is supported by a mechanical platform suited for everyday wear.
It’s a balance of avant-garde design and practical performance - creativity grounded in credibility.
On the Wrist
Despite its bold visual identity, the Cuboid wears comfortably and confidently. The stainless-steel case offers reassuring weight, while the softened edges and considered proportions allow it to sit naturally on the wrist.
This is a watch that works effortlessly in casual settings, yet carries enough refinement to transition beyond them - ideal for collectors and style-conscious wearers alike.

It’s a design that feels creative yet wearable - distinctive without being overstated.
The result is a watch for those who prefer individuality over uniformity, and style that feels effortless rather than engineered.
Why We Curated This
An artistic reinterpretation of a well-known sports-watch archetype
A distinctive colourway that balances playfulness with refinement
Proven mechanical reliability beneath a bold, expressive design
Design & Artistic Influence
The Aquanoid series draws direct inspiration from Labeg’s paper watch creations — works that distort, exaggerate, and reframe iconic designs through an artistic lens. This influence is visible in the Aquanoid’s asymmetrical case construction and whimsical dial layout, where visual balance is intentionally reimagined rather than preserved.
The Avocado Green colourway enhances this creative intent. Its soft green tone introduces warmth and personality while remaining grounded enough for everyday wear, giving the watch a contemporary charm that feels both modern and approachable.
Movement & Reliability
Powering the Aquanoid Avocado Green is the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, selected for its slim profile, reliability, and consistent performance. This trusted mechanical calibre provides a solid foundation, ensuring that the watch’s expressive exterior is matched by dependable everyday function.
It’s a pairing of creativity and credibility - artistic on the surface, practical at its core.
