The small details: Bell & Ross inspirational screw heads
Calder's leather and stainless steel handles are a key feature of our cases. In the early prototypes the screws holding the handle were covered by the leather but I soon decided they should be visible. This change satisfied my desire to have the engineering of the visible rather than hidden.
It is the mark of an obsessive owner/designer that I then had to find the most perfect quality screws. I was spurred on in this quest by the exceptional elegance of the screws on Bell & Ross wristwatches.
Finally, in the last few weeks, I've found a small English engineering shop who will make me screws of the quality I want. These are shots of the samples they sent me (I'll be using a 3mm cross head screw, much smaller than either of these) and a shot of a Bell & Ross in acknowledgment of the inspiration I took from them.
