Adesse Watch

Jansen Che Watch Jewelry Monday, 10 August 2026

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.

The Rose Fountain Jewellery

ONESWEAR Jewellery Jewelry Sunday, 9 August 2026

The Rose Fountain

The Rose Fountain is a diamond ring inspired by the form of a revolving rose fountain. The design uses a rotary setting technique that places the stones along a curved line that rises like a water column, so the ring can be viewed from all angles. The curved arrangement increases the light return of the stones and makes the central diamond look larger than in a conventional setting. The ring is made of 18-karat white gold and set with diamonds, and a ruby is placed on one side of the ring arm. The ring measures 30 by 15 by 35 millimeters.

Biroi

Biroi is a 3D printed jewelry series that is inspired by the legendary phoenix of the sky, who throws itself into the flames and reborn from its own ashes. Dynamic lines forming the structure and the Voronoi pattern spread on the surface symbolize the phoenix that revives from the burning flames and flies into the sky. Pattern changes size to flow over the surface giving a sense of dynamism to the structure. The design, which shows off a sculpture-like presence by itself, gives the wearer the courage to take a step forward by drawing out their uniqueness.

Waves

Waves is a necklace made from recycled sterling silver. The form of the necklace imitates the movement of water and curly hair. The matt surface is created with a needle matt technique and resembles suede. The original piece for casting and mold making was shaped by hand, by bending warm wax sheets with form giving irons. Each necklace element has a larger wave at its center, surrounded by smaller waves, to create natural movement and a balanced design. The necklace is festive yet light to wear. The silver is not plated, and production takes place in Finland.
