D1 Milano Sketch Watch

The D1 Milano Sketch turns a conventional sports watch into something that looks hand-drawn. Available in White Sketch and Black Sketch versions, the 40.5mm Polycarbon uses contrasting outline graphics across the case, dial, and integrated bracelet to create a flat, almost two-dimensional effect.

The case and bracelet are made from soft-touch polycarbonate, keeping weight down to just 54 grams. An anti-reflective mineral crystal covers the brass dial, while a steel butterfly clasp and 316L stainless-steel caseback add a more conventional finish underneath the playful exterior.

Inside is a straightforward TMI VJ21 three-hand quartz movement, paired with 5 ATM water resistance. The White Sketch uses black lines over a white surface, while the Black Sketch reverses the idea with white sketch-style details over a dark base.

The appeal is mostly visual: the drawn borders, imperfect-looking markers, and skeletonized hands make the watch feel more like a concept illustration brought to life than a traditional timepiece. Both versions are priced at $195.
