Designer
Jörg Hysek
Jörg Hysek left Rolex and Seiko's European studios to build a design practice in Geneva, giving houses such as Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Seiko and TAG Heuer their sculptural, architecture-led cases before founding his own brand, HD3.
Historical significance
Singer Reimagined 1969 38 mm Black 18k sits within Singer Reimagined's 1969 line, introduced in 2017. It carries the house codes established since 2017 — 18k white gold case, black lacquer dial and satellite-hour automatic — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history
Singer Reimagined has spent more than 9 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Track1, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Marco Borraccino & Rob Dickinson established Singer Reimagined in 2017, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Singer Reimagined calibre produced today.
