Created for FounderFest, the Awake x Time+Tide Ultraviolet explores the relationship between music, memory and contemporary watchmaking. Expressed through a haunting palette of purple and black, this exclusive Studio Edition captures a sense of atmosphere using Awake’s signature Vietnamese Sơn Mài lacquer craftsmanship.
Each dial is built by hand using centuries-old techniques, beginning with hand engraving before layers of natural lacquer are applied over pure silver leaf. As the translucent pigments cure and are repeatedly polished, the dial develops remarkable depth, shifting from near black to flashes of vivid violet as the light changes. The process takes around 15 hours for every dial, ensuring each watch is completely unique.
The dial sits inside Awake’s refined 38mm stainless steel case, delivering everyday wearability alongside 100 metres of water resistance and sapphire crystals front and back. Power comes from the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, offering an impressive 68-hour power reserve, while a Jean Rousseau grey Alcantara strap with purple stitching completes the watch with the same attention to detail found throughout the project.
The Ultraviolet reflects everything FounderFest was created to celebrate: independent watchmaking shaped by music, art and culture, brought together through genuine craftsmanship.
