Committed to the arcane art of engine turned dials, Josh Shapiro is a bold outlier in the ultra-traditional world of haute horology. But his newest project is attempting something never seen even in the modern era of innovative artisan timepieces: engine-turning an intricate pattern into a dial made from a 4-billion-year-old meteorite.

The exclusive Infinity Series P.01 builds on the signature Infinity Series watch from Josh Shapiro, which is characterized by an ornate engine-turned dial pattern and powered by an in-house manufactured calibre from Uhren Werke Dresden (UWD). This movement, along with the watch it is cased in are both assembled, finished, and regulated in Shapiro’s Los Angeles atelier. Each dial, along with its accompanying hands and serial plate, are all made in-house by Shapiro – a process which in totality requires thousands of machine operations and hundreds of hours.
