Elegance
A Design Inspired by the City Skyline
This dial is shaped by the clean geometry of modern architecture.
Layered structures rise and fall like a miniature skyline, giving the surface depth and precision.
Each angle reveals a new edge, a new facet — a structured urban rhythm distilled into a compact, sculpted form.
The Play of Light and Shadow
The dial interacts with light through its chameleon coating, shifting color as the viewing angle changes.
Deep blues blend into violet, vibrant greens transition into magenta-violet, and rose tones dissolve into a subtle gold.
Even the black metallic finish reveals micro-reflections across its sculpted surfaces.
Every movement of the wrist brings a new shade, a new character — a quiet optical transformation.
A Versatile Canvas of Color
This architectural dial comes in a variety of colors, each evoking a unique mood and character:
niello monolith
Refined and powerful, echoing the depth of dark metallic architecture
Vioreen Tone
Vibrant and dimensional, shifting from emerald notes to amethyst-violet accents
Lavender Spark
Cool and radiant, merging sapphire tones with subtle violet reflections
Fuchsia Tinge
Bold and expressive, flowing between magenta, violet, and soft golden highlights

Laser Engraving Options
Clean & Subtle: Best for words, names, dates, and simple monochrome patterns. These engravings age beautifully on leather.
Tip: Stick to text and simple designs. Fine details don’t work well on leather.
Bold Only: Due to the mesh structure, only large fonts and solid shapes remain clearly visible on the strap.
The clasp is perfect for anything, even grayscale images.
Tip: Bold designs on the mesh, detailed engravings on the clasp.
Maximum Flexibility: Engraving is possible on single links, across multiple links, or on the clasp.
Texts, patterns, and monochrome or grayscale images all work well.
Tip: Larger designs work best across several links or on the clasp.
3D Effect: The laser cuts deep into the metal, creating a deep, tactile engraving.
Available only on stainless steel bracelets.
Tip: Choose simple, high-contrast designs for the best result.
Personal Detail: Texts, symbols, patterns, and grayscale images can be engraved on the case back.
Note: Engraving is applied to the outer ring. The central movement plate remains unengraved.
FAQ
Is the dial flat or textured?
The dial is not flat. It has a physically sculpted structure with real depth. It is not 3D-printed — the geometry is precisely manufactured and then hand-finished to achieve clean edges and controlled reflections.
Does the 3D dial look the same in real life as in photos?
Not exactly. Because of the dial’s depth and surface geometry, it reacts to light and wrist movement. Photos can’t fully capture the reflections and visual effect you experience when wearing the watch.
Will the dial colors change depending on light?
Yes. Depending on sunlight, indoor lighting, and viewing angle, the colors subtly shift. This interaction with light is an intentional part of the dial’s three-dimensional design.
Can I customize the watch design?
Yes. You can customize the case color, dial color, dial design, and strap using the Volumenzeit online configurator to create a watch that reflects your personal style.
Can I add engraving to my watch?
Yes. You can engrave the case back and selected straps. Available options include text, symbols, patterns, and — in some cases — custom graphics or images. For technical limits and recommendations, please refer to our engraving guidelines.
Is the strap easy to change?
Yes. The watch uses a quick-release strap system, allowing you to change straps easily without tools.
What if I am not sure after seeing the watch in real life?
You are covered by a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU law. If you have questions before ordering, we also offer personal support to help you choose the right fit and details.
Where are Volumenzeit watches made?
Volumenzeit is a German watch brand. The dials are produced and hand-finished in Germany. Final steps — including engraving, strap fitting, inspection, and quality control — are carried out in Germany before delivery.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. All Volumenzeit watches come with a 2-year international warranty covering manufacturing defects.
