ARTRA LAB
From the world of premium lensmaking emerges Artra Lab, a visionary brand that channels decades of photographic expertise into the craft of watchmaking. Founded on the principle of "Embracing the Harmony of Tradition & Modernity," Artra Lab represents a bold new crossover between two worlds that share a common language: precision, light, and the capture of fleeting moments.
The Camera One: A Love Letter to Photography
Artra Lab's debut timepiece, the Camera One, transcends mere homage to become a fully realized fusion of camera mechanics and horological tradition. The inaugural DLC Black Limited Edition was personally received by Dr. Chow Yun-fat, who used it to capture ArtraLab's first official product image—a moment now etched in the brand's history.
Perhaps most ingeniously, the Camera One features an interchangeable dial system that transforms the watch's personality. Wearers can choose to "open the aperture," revealing the intricate automatic movement through a transparent face flanked by a film strip complete with sprocket holes, or close it to display a working aperture mechanism that mimics a camera lens.
