Hexdial was my very first watch — the project where I finally dared to experiment freely with paints, colours, hands, indexes, and shapes. I went through countless trials before the signature hexagon-based design and the final four colours were born. Built on the reliable NH35 movement, Hexdial became the first official series of Magony Watches — a milestone after which it was clear: I wanted to design my own case as well. That journey eventually led to the creation of the Praevia.
Hexdial was never “just a watch” for me. It was my first real challenge — the project where I fully immersed myself in creating my own timepiece from scratch.
It all started with a simple idea: I wanted to make a unique dial.
I had no idea how much of an adventure that would become. I painted… a lot. I tested new colours again and again — some were too shiny, some too dark, some seemed perfect until the next morning proved otherwise.
Meanwhile, I searched for matching hands, tried every index application method I could think of, experimented with adhesives, positioning, spacing — slowly learning what truly worked.
As the days passed (and the paint kept disappearing), an idea began to take shape: a design built around hexagons, where geometry takes the spotlight.
That’s how the Hexdial concept was born — together with the four signature colours:
Emerald Sage, Sapphire Snow, Onyx Eclipse, and Bronze Oak.
Once everything came together, the first pieces finally came to life. Built on the ever-reliable NH35 automatic movement, this was the moment when I first felt: yes, this could really become something.
Choosing the packaging, shooting the first photos, preparing the marketing materials… everything was new and exciting.
And the first time someone wore a Hexdial on their wrist — that was an unforgettable milestone.
It marked the very first true step of Magony Watches.
And with that came the realisation:
If the dial can be my own design, why shouldn’t the case be as well?
This thought set the next big chapter in motion — the one that eventually became the Praevia.
