In collaboration with About Timepieces, Backes & Strauss released the new W1 Anthracite edition from the W1 collection. The anthracite dial colour was also chosen for its understated classic finish and quiet depth under changing light.

That journey is now immortalised in Backes & Strauss's latest creation: the Namib Queen of Hearts, a spectacular tribute to love, rarity, and responsible luxury made possible through the expert sourcing of Diamwill of Antwerp, a trusted and long-time client of Namib Desert Diamonds (Pty) Ltd (NAMDIA).
