First Complication, and Design Language Come of Age 

The Radiant is the first complicated watch J.N. Shapiro has put into production — a monopusher chronograph — but the bigger story is what it signals about where Josh Shapiro's work is headed. His earlier pieces wore their influences openly: Breguet, Daniels, Roth. The Radiant is where those references give way to something proprietary. Tantalum, zirconium, meteorite, heat treatment, and engine turning stop reading as individual flourishes and start working as a single vocabulary — one drawn, fittingly, from the aerospace industry that surrounds his Los Angeles (Torrance, California) workshop. The name nods to both light and radiation, the two properties these space-age metals are prized for. It's a maturing of everything that has defined the Infinity Series, and the result simply looks killer on the wrist.

Limited edition of 75 pieces.

Key Details

• J.N. Shapiro's first complicated production watch: a classical monopusher chronograph with 30-minute counter
• Powered by the La Joux-Perret 5000-4 — a caliber originally developed by F.P. Journe for Cartier, and used by only a handful of brands today
• 38mm tantalum case, slim at 9.6mm, 43.9mm lug-to-lug, on alligator with an optional AHA tantalum bracelet
• Two dial executions: etched Gibeon meteorite, or basketweave-guilloché heat-blued zirconium
• Signature Infinity Weave guilloché totalizer and sculpted, three-dimensional hands carried over as core design codes
• Heat-blued zirconium chapter ring with color formed by heat alone — no paint, no plating
• Numerals and indices engraved after heat treatment, an unforgiving process with no margin to correct
• Aerospace-inspired throughout, with materials borrowed from the industry next door — SpaceX, Boeing, Northrop, JPL all nearby
• Limited first run of 75 pieces
