Chapter I
Lumière
The first implementation of the Nalom philosophy.
Lumière applies Nalom's design discipline to a category too often treated as jewelry first and mechanical watchmaking second. It is a Swiss Made mechanical watch designed from the wrist up, not scaled down from a men's reference.

Designed from the wrist up
Lumière is designed around the realities of a smaller wrist: proportion, balance, thinness, bracelet articulation, and comfort. Its dimensions are not marketing numbers. They are part of the architecture.
A 33 to 34 mm case with a large dial opening, downturned lugs, a concave caseback direction, and an integrated bracelet that articulates immediately from the case, behaving as a female end-link should.
Restraint, not absence
Lumière is restrained, but not plain. Its design depends on hierarchy: markers first, hands second, dial surface third.
Every visible decision has to justify its presence. Nothing survives as an afterthought.
Diamonds as structure
The diamond markers are not applied as sparkle. They are used as part of the dial architecture, set within a disciplined geometric system.
Diamonds serve the composition. They are structural, not decorative.
The Knot becomes physical
The Nalom Knot is not intended to remain only a dial mark. In Lumière, the strongest expression is physical: crown geometry, clasp detail, and caseback authorship.
Where identity carries into a part the hand touches, the watch has to make room for it.

Current stage
Lumière has completed external design and commercial checkpoint review. The design direction is endorsed for technical drawings and prototype quoting.
Current work is focused on final specification, prototype partner selection, production costing, and route-to-market validation. Final pricing will be confirmed after prototype costing and production quotation.
