A study in structure, balance, and the quiet architecture of time.
The UMA Atelier No. 01 — Vanishing Point is the inaugural release in the Atelier Collection™, designed by artist Erik Hesson as an extension of his Linear Perspectivism philosophy. This timepiece is composed as a spatial system—where line, proportion, and negative space converge with intention to create a kinetic work of art.
The result is a minimalist yet deeply dimensional dial that shifts in perception as light moves across its surface, echoing the same visual tension found in architectural frameworks and abstract spatial design.
At its core, the watch is powered by a self-winding Japanese automatic movement, requiring no battery and drawing energy from the natural motion of the wearer. This mechanical foundation reinforces the conceptual integrity of the piece—where motion itself becomes the source of time.
Encased in a slim 46mm stainless steel body and protected by a durable hardened crystal, the Atelier No. 01 balances presence with restraint. The dial remains the focal point—clean, deliberate, and unmistakably distinct.
This piece is part of Series A, the inaugural release of 100 individually numbered timepieces within the Vanishing Point collection.
