When we call it a tool watch, we mean it literally. The fixed-lug construction, screw-down crown, and sealed caseback weren’t stylistic choices, they were answers to problems born from use.
A watch that can be submerged, slammed, and scraped without losing rhythm becomes more than an accessory; it becomes a trusted part of your kit. The mechanical movement inside doesn’t rely on batteries or signals, it relies on you. That connection between man and machine is what keeps it alive.
The Vanitas exists in the same space as the weapons, ropes, and instruments seen here: analog tools built to survive modern chaos. Its beauty lies in what it withstands, not what it avoids.
