Introducing: Fleming Returns With The Series 1 Mark II “Redwood” And “Pacific”

In the first release, the brand used guilloché dials on two models and aventurine with grey-grained portions for the third. All these things were catnip for collectors, but I was curious (and surprised when I saw) what the brand would do next. Now, the brand has two options. This time, a rose gold case (the model called “Redwood”) is paired with a rose gold dial with applied hour markers, 18k rose gold faceted and black-polished hands, a black-polished ring around the dial, vertical graining in the center of the dial and subdial, and more. The tantalum case (the model called “Pacific”) is paired with a blue-green dial featuring similar finishes and white-gold hands. Both measure 38.5mm by 8mm (9mm counting the domed crystal).

The case geometry is subtly changed as well, a bit sharper and more aggressive, while maintaining the interesting skeletonized lugs (a design that proved quite the challenge in tantalum). The movement (while conceptually the same) has been redesigned to have a more cohesive aesthetic with the overall package. The Calibre FM.02, developed in collaboration with Jean-François Mojon, is only 4mm thick and yet has a 7-day power reserve (though manually wound), running at 3Hz. The bridges were redesigned for wider anglage and more interior angles (189 in total). The wheels have a new bespoke shape to mirror the skeletonized lugs. And each movement features finishing to match the overall aesthetic.
