The b1\/m uses Muonionalusta meteorite—formed roughly one million years ago in Scandinavia—for the entire case, lugs, dial, and buckle.

Those same patterns make the material prone to fracturing when machined. Building a dial from meteorite is standard. Building an entire case requires working through significant material loss and accepting that yields are low. Each b1\/m displays a pattern that cannot be replicated; no two exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Design Language\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eToledano \u0026amp; Chan emerged from Phil Toledano's frustration with homogenous watch design.

The b1\/m shares DNA with the sold-out B\/1 Lapis Lazuli—the same brutalist geometry, asymmetrical sapphire crystal, and concrete presentation box inspired by Marcel Breuer's architecture.
