Watches in the 3-handed rectangular watch segment are almost always art deco inspired dress watches; and so Makina designs Andras_I to be the black sheep of the category: sportier, bolder and more contemporary. Coated in stealth black, its angular shapes and pronounced edges make up its unique multifaceted case design, finished with high gloss and brushed surfaces. Its dial, made of quality brass, is multi-layered and has a modern matte finish. Its strap is muscular and shapely, echoing its chiseled case and 3-dimensional dial. Andras_I was intently designed to look imposing from every angle.
