What we know of the 509, stated without embellishment. And what is not yet settled, stated just as plainly
A 38 mm titanium case with sapphire crystal, proportions that suit any wrist. Ninety sawtooth serrations encircle the smooth, fixed bezel, catching the light with every movement.

Satin-finished sunrays, edge to edge, across champagne gold. There is no fumé: the light darkens it as the wrist turns. Above, three flat hands in polished steel, the IndieWatch logo beneath 12 o’clock and its name above 6. The time is read from the angle of the hands, the way one knows the hour from the light falling into a room
