VOXEL Meridion VX01-E: the dial changes the rules at 13:00

A mechanical watch whose entire hour scale changes twice a day. Meridion has a new in-house display module on a Soprod Newton P092 base, a 41.4 mm case and a 44-hour reserve. Preorders opened on 1 October 2026.

Why it is interesting

Meridion has a moment worth waiting for: at 13:00 the dial changes its entire scale. A good reason to look at a young brand if ordinary three-hand mechanics have become too familiar.

Things to consider

Deliveries are planned for Q1 2027. A 44-hour reserve is short for a full weekend break; the price excludes VAT.

The model in detail

Meet the watch

VOXEL is a young brand that introduced its first collection in September 2026. Meridion preorders opened on 1 October, with finished watches planned to ship in Q1 2027. A hands-on encounter will have to wait.

At 13:00, the entire hour scale instantly switches from a 12-hour to a 24-hour format, returning at 01:00. The hands continue around their usual circle; the numbers in the surrounding windows change. Morning and afternoon get distinct labels. A classic jumping-hour watch changes one numeral each hour; here the entire scale moves.

The switching is handled by VOXEL's own module on the Swiss automatic Soprod Newton P092. It runs at 4 Hz and provides 44 hours of reserve. A ready-made calibre supplies the base, while the brand devised the unusual way of showing time.

Details and limitations

The ten-sided case is 904L steel, with a Grade 5 titanium back. Its 41.4 mm diameter is paired with a relatively short 45.5 mm lug-to-lug length. Facets can change the impression of size, so a fitting remains more useful than a catalogue figure alone. The crystal is sapphire, and stated water resistance is 120 m.

VOXEL's French store lists the watch on an integrated steel bracelet at €2 850 excluding VAT. For EU orders, tax is calculated at checkout. The series is limited to 300 pieces; the price for Uzbekistan is not yet known, and Q1 2027 delivery remains a stated target.

The nicest part of the idea is that the whole spectacle happens on the dial. You do not need to turn the watch over. What remains to be seen is how quickly the eye adapts to the changing labels. Remember the 44 hours too: a Meridion taken off on Friday evening will not last until Monday morning.
