Phil Toledano didn't settle for a meteorite dial. The b1/m uses Muonionalusta meteorite—formed roughly one million years ago in Scandinavia—for the entire case, lugs, dial, and buckle. At 32mm, it's the smallest and most committed piece in the Toledano & Chan lineup. Thirty will ever exist.
Why Meteorite Is Difficult
Meteorite looks striking because of its Widmanstätten patterns—crystalline structures that form only during millions of years of cooling in space. 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.
The Design Language
Toledano & Chan emerged from Phil Toledano's frustration with homogenous watch design. (You may know him as Mr. Enthusiast.) 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. The yellow-backed crocodile strap is a collector's detail visible only to the wearer.
Who This Is For
If you're drawn to Holthinrichs, Felipe Pikullik, or independent makers prioritizing design over convention, the b1/m belongs on your shortlist. At 32mm with a full meteorite construction, it's for collectors who understand that scarcity means something when only 30 exist—not 500, not "limited edition" marketing.
