"Courage is not being fearless" - words spoken while pushing and breaking the boundaries of physics and human endeavour. Donald Campbell was no stranger to challenges of extreme engineering and danger. The Coniston is inspired by its namesake lake, where Donald and his father Sir Malcolm Campbell set numerous water-speed records.
The Coniston Vulcan is a chimera of engineering inspiration; the body of the Coniston, with the markings of the Avro Vulcan jet. Royal Air Force Grey alters with the light and with each movement of the wrist, switching from stormy grey to blue skies under the sapphire crystal. The striking turquoise second hand, logo and painted markers on the outer rehaut provide a pop of contrast, all tied together with polished applied indices and hands.
A ring of Superluminova, sunken between the outer rehaut and the central plateau, provides a welcome break from the norm; using negative space and working with the lume-tipped hands to show the passing of time after dark.
