History
The Pulse60 centers on a movement beating at 1 Hz — one tick per second — mirroring the resting human heartbeat. This contrasts the typical 3-4 Hz of most mechanical watches, requiring specialized engineering for accuracy at slow oscillation. The concept draws on early marine chronometers and observatory clocks that operated at 1 Hz, considered ideal for precision. Pulse60 transforms this historical principle into a deeply personal, meditative wristwatch experience.
