Arcanaut Fordite
Arcanaut’s Fordite collection takes an unexpected piece of history and transforms it into artful dials. Fortide, also known as Motor City Agate, is a relic of the automotive industry’s past – formed from layers of hand-sprayed paint that hardened over time in factory booths. These vibrant deposits, once considered industrial waste, are now hand-cut and polished into stunning watch dials by James Thompson, Arcanaut’s co-founder and Chief of Material Development.
