NOTSAG Aquaelite Type I, An Accessible Dive Watch For a Good Cause
NOTSAG is a unique brand for many reasons. The name itself is an anagram of Gaston, the founder's oldest son with developmental challenges including mitochondrial disease, severe autism and a GABBR2 mutation. Most readers at MONOCHROME are familiar with Only Watch auction, a charity auction held every two years to support research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. About 50 of the most prestigious watch brands produce one-offs for the auction, which has raised over CHF 70 million since 2005. NOTSAG takes a more personal and direct approach, donating 20% of net profits to mitochondrial disease research. The Type I is an intriguing and well-designed Swiss made diver in its own right but represents much more.BackgroundNOTSAG is a new watch brand in Los Angeles from founder Laurent Chardin Rischmann. The evolution of Gaston's challenges marches on and Laurent felt that 2018 was the right time to establish the brand, honouring his oldest son, born in 2010, by raising money and awareness for h

This movement features a silicon escapement (anchor, escape wheel and roller) and hairspring, which means that the most fragile parts in the movement are not affected by magnetis
