About The Pieces
MONARKE-1 marks the beginning of the brand.
Designed as a modern mechanical watch, it focuses on clarity of form and visible function. The open movement, balanced case, and restrained detailing reflect MONARKE’s approach to design — intentional, minimal, and precise.
MONARKE -1 [OBSIDIAN]
Obsidian is the darker take on MONARKE-1.
The black finish keeps everything understated and lets the shape of the case and the movement do the talking. With less contrast on the surface, your eye is drawn to the mechanics inside and the overall form of the watch rather than small details.
MONARKE -1 [AURORA]
Aurora is a lighter, more relaxed expression of the same design.
The silver finish brings out the proportions of the case, while the green seconds hand adds just enough colour without taking over. It’s a small detail, but it gives the watch a bit of personality and balance.
