British independent watchmaker Isotope has unveiled its latest creation, the Flyway Fata Morgana, a limited-edition model that merges a refined design with visual illusion.

Heat-blued "Lacrima" hands, filled with Superluminova for night-time readability, glide across the surface with sharp precision, ensuring legibility amid the ever-changing reflections. Protecting the dial is a hyperbolic paraboloid crystal with anti-reflective coating.
