Automatic Vintage Lens II
A timepiece with a heart that captures the soul of photograph
Top-performer of the year
AVL II is a harmonious blend of luxury timepiece and vintage camera. AVL II is feature-rich, with a skeleton watch back highlights the timeless beauty of camera and watch mechanics, fisheye layered sapphire glass with an anti-reflective coating that mimics the look of a camera lens, a diamond-cut crown, an etched rotating bezel and even unique minute indicators complete with focal length digits. This astonishing level of detail helped elevate AVL II from a humble timepiece to a work of art.
Background
The overall look of this watch has to be a feature just on its own. By combining the essential of a timepiece with recognizable traits of a camera, this timepiece is the perfect balance of both. Taking inspiration from the focus ring on camera lens, AVL2 also has etching its rotating bezel to give off that essential camera vibe. AVL2 has cleverly replaced traditional minute indicators with popular camera focal lengths.
TACS has opted to use sapphire crystal for the glass of both the front and back of its timepieces. The front fish-eye effect crystal also features anti-reflective coating. AVL2 is water resistant to 10ATM for extra durability and usability. And features a screw-down crown which ensures the best water-resist capability. In addition, TACS has fixed a metal plate to the side of AVL2 where their customers can engrave their name or a special message for that personal touch.
