The DC7 Blue Hawk, inspired by the blue hawk, a symbol of breathtaking speed, extreme precision, piercing vision and the perfect fusion of power and lightness.

Imagined in resonance with the laws of nature, observed by Leonardo da Vinci who derived his Vitruvian Man from them.  The DC7 offers perfect symmetry on the 3 o’clock – 9 o’clock axis and asymmetry on the 6 o’clock – 12 o’clock axis. The three-dimensionality of the piece is accentuated by the dial’s play on levels.
