Introducing SpaceOne Unveils the WorldTimer

SpaceOne is one of those brands with a distinctly modern formula, fusing technical creativity with accessibility, all while maintaining a healthy obsession with space. Founded by award-winning French independent watchmaker Théo Auffret and entrepreneur Guillaume Laidet, also known for reviving Nivada Grenchen and overseeing Vulcain, the brand quickly established itself as a force to watch. Its previous releases, the Jumping Hour and Tellurium, proved that SpaceOne wasn’t just toying with concepts, it was executing them with purpose. Now, the brand enters its third chapter with the launch of the WorldTimer.

The WorldTimer marks a shift in focus. After metaphorically exploring the cosmos, SpaceOne returns with both feet on the ground and a design that pays homage to space travel and high-performance automobiles. This contemporary aesthetic was once again shaped by designer Olivier Gamiette, who blends mechanical imagination with a deep respect for modern industrial forms.

The case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, showcasing a mix of polished, brushed, and sandblasted finishes that respond dynamically to changes in light. It’s available in natural titanium, black PVD, or blue PVD coating. Dimensions come in at 41.9 mm in width, 52.7 mm lug to lug, and 15.88 mm in thickness, topped by a curved sapphire dome that crowns the display. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.

At first glance, the WorldTimer’s display may appear digital, but this is a mechanical marvel. Traditional hands are replaced by a rotating disc system, a minutes disc at 3 o’clock, a central seconds disc, a 12-hour disc at 6 o’clock, and dual coaxial discs at 9 o’clock showing a 24-hour scale alongside corresponding city names. Three-position crowns enable manual winding, quick selection of the city discs, and simultaneous adjustment of both the 12-hour and 24-hour indicators.

Powering the watch is the automatic Soprod P024 movement, a reliable Swiss engine operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), with a 38-hour power reserve. This is paired with an in-house worldtimer module, developed by SpaceOne and fully assembled in Paris.

The black strap tapers from 22 mm to 18 mm and fastens with a titanium buckle that echoes the case’s material and finish. The watch is limited to just 600 pieces, with pre-orders opening on June 26 through SpaceOne’s official website. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025. As for the price, the WorldTimer is priced at €2,700, approximately AED 11,500.
