It was never meant to look ordinary.
We started with a simple question:
What makes someone love a watch?
Not just the movement.
Not just the materials.
Not just the name on the dial.
But the feeling.
The way you look down at it years later and still feel something.
So we asked a sharper question: what if imperfection could be beautiful?
Astral Retro is our answer. One side doesn’t quite mirror the other — the result is a silhouette with its own character, one you recognise without needing to see the name on the dial.
Made for people who love watches, and never forget the first one that made them feel something.
Asymmetry,
by design.
The first version existed only as an idea.
One sketch, on paper — the asymmetric silhouette, and the dial it was always going to carry. The size. The feel. The leather. The Eastern Arabic numerals, already there.
This is where it all came from — the shape, and the dial that would speak for itself.
Designed to sit close to the wrist without losing its presence.
A dial that
speaks for itself.
The one from the sketch.
Eastern Arabic numerals bring an artistic character to the dial.
They’re a rare sight on a watch dial, usually reserved for the most special pieces from respected watchmakers. We admire the artistry in them — that’s why they’re here.
The pointed crown adds another layer of character, finished in a black diamond colour.
Underneath it all, a Swiss movement, chosen after an extensive search to keep the case as slim as it was drawn.
Switzerland is home to the great luxury houses and their standard of finish. We wanted that standard inside Retro, as much as outside.

The watch needed
somewhere worthy of it.
Dark green grained leather.
Black velvet.
Gold hardware.
Inside: a handbook, a 12-month warranty card and a certificate.
It’s different
on the wrist.
Slim enough to sit almost like a second skin.
Distinct enough to never disappear.
Designed not only to be looked at — but to be worn.
Every Astral
begins in Lagos.
Astral was born here.
Lagos sits on the dial.
Wherever you take your Astral Retro, a piece of where it began goes with you.
Character comes
with time.
The integrated croc leather strap was chosen for more than the way it looks today.
Leather changes.
It becomes yours.
Five interpretations.One silhouette.
Which one speaks to you?
Not every watch needs
to follow the rules.
Some watches are made to fit in.
Others are made to be remembered.
If that’s you,
this is your first access.
