HAS.
She has watches.
He has watches.
They haswatch.
The word
has·watch /hæz·wɒtʃ/ verb
to hold one of ten; to own a stone older than the industry that measures time with it.
“She haswatches. Nº 06/10.”
Manifesto
Most watches are made in the millions.
These are made in the ten.
HAS is a watch project from dthas, a Den Haag software studio that builds things precisely or not at all. The first edition is ten pieces. Not ten thousand, not ten variants: ten watches, each with a dial cut from a different stone.
A stone dial cannot be reprinted. The slice that becomes Nº 03 exists once, formed over millions of years and finished by hand to a fraction of a millimetre. When ten are gone, the edition is closed and the next one begins from zero.
Edition 001 · The stones
Ten pieces. No two dials from the same stone.
Each stone carries its own page and its own story. The photographs are the real materials, museum and archive specimens; the dials will be cut from slices like these.
