Kennard Francis

Kennard Francis Lafond Automatic
Transparency in Craft. Defined by Artistry.

The Kennard Francis Lafond Automatic is a daring reinterpretation of the shaped-case skeleton watch — inspired by the architectural brilliance and open-worked mechanics of the Cartier Santos Skeleton. Its bold, angular case frames an intricately skeletonized dial that reveals the heartbeat within, marrying technical mastery with refined design. The Lafond balances modern innovation with classic heritage, creating a watch that’s as much a statement piece as a timekeeper.

Beneath the sapphire crystal lies a meticulously finished automatic movement, exposed in full view — every gear, spring, and bridge artfully presented as part of the design. The dial is a study in depth and dimension, with applied hour markers floating above the mechanical vista. Blued hands add a splash of color and legibility, completing the dynamic visual composition.

Offered as part of the Genesis Collection, the Francis Lafond appeals to the connoisseur who embraces transparency — both literal and figurative. This is not a mere skeleton watch. It’s a celebration of horological craftsmanship and architectural form, redefined for the modern enthusiast.
