What to know

IFL Watches gives the MAEN Manhattan 37 a hand-painted dial inspired by New York’s Art Deco period and the movement of jazz. Contrasting geometric shapes and circular motifs create an energetic composition inside the watch’s elongated octagonal bezel. The brushed steel case and integrated bracelet provide a quieter architectural frame around the colourful surface.

The time-only Manhattan Paradox uses a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, running at 4Hz with a reported 38-hour reserve. Its 37mm case keeps the design compact despite the visual intensity of the dial. May reporting listed production at 200 watches and a price of $1,499. This is an IFL customised MAEN edition.
