What to know

The Lensman 1 translates familiar camera details into a watch without adding a decorative camera to the dial. Its bezel resembles a focusing ring, aperture-style numbers run along the caseband, and an oversized magnifier highlights the flying tourbillon. A textured black strap recalls a camera’s grip.

The 41mm grade 5 titanium case houses Horage’s hand-wound K-TOU calibre, with silicon escapement components and a 120-hour reserve. The one-minute tourbillon also provides a seconds indication through a coloured screw on its cage. January 2023 coverage documented the physical watch shown here. This profile preserves that original date rather than suggesting a new launch.
