Most watches are adjusted once, at the factory or at the counter, and then left to get on with it. Superjust assumes that your wrist and your days are not quite like anyone else’s, and gives you the means to make the watch fit them.

The bracelet comes off with a quick release. Removable links with a spring-loaded quick-release system set the length, and the micro-adjusting clasp takes care of the last millimetres. MicroReg corrects the rate with the case closed. Separate mechanisms, each doing one job well. More on all of them below.

Bracelet off, bracelet on.

Where the bracelet meets the case, a quick-release push piece does the job a spring-bar tool used to do. Press it and the bracelet lets go of the case; line it up again and it locks back into place. No tools, no scratched lugs, no towel spread over the kitchen table just in case.

Cleaning becomes easy, and taking the bracelet off becomes a moment’s work rather than an appointment.

Length, set by you.

Sizing a bracelet usually means a visit, a pin pusher or a very small screwdriver and a lot of patience. The removable links on Superjust use a spring-loaded quick-release system instead. Flip up the small lever, take the link out, close the bracelet up again. Putting it back works the same way.

Wrists change over a day and over a year. Now the bracelet can change with them, as often as you like.

The last millimetres.

Links take care of the big steps. The HORAGE micro-adjusting clasp (HMAC) handles the small ones, with 10mm of adjustment built into the clasp itself. A warm afternoon, a cold morning, a long flight: give the bracelet a little more room or take a little back, without removing a single link.

Bracelet off and on, links in and out, length fine-tuned at the clasp. Three bracelet adjustments before we even get to the movement.

Harbor Blue, Forest Green, Chalk White.

Three dials, shown above from left to right as Chalk White, Harbor Blue and Forest Green, with one rule in common: the time comes first. Slim baton hands and applied indices sit on a clean dial, with HORAGE at twelve and the model name at six, and nothing else asking for attention.

Harbor Blue and Forest Green carry a sunray finish that shifts from bright to deep as the light moves across it. Chalk White is the calm one of the three. A fine minute track runs around the edge, for when you want to read the seconds properly. Given what MicroReg can do, you might.

A watch can be regulated perfectly on a bench and still run differently on you. How long you wear it, how active your days are, whether it spends the night crown-up or dial-down: all of it changes how a mechanical movement keeps time. What counts is how your watch runs after a week on your wrist, not how it ran in a test position.

That is what MicroReg is for. It changes the rate, meaning how fast or slow the watch runs, so that it suits the way you wear it. It does not set the hands, and it does not need your phone: Superjust runs as a purely mechanical watch, connected to nothing.

Adjustment happens with the case closed. The watch sits in the MicroReg Device, you make the correction in the app, and the movement carries on at its new rate. No case opening, no workshop, no waiting.

Give it time first. Wear your new Superjust for a while before you touch the rate, so you know how it really runs on you. And two honest notes: a reading of zero on one day is a good day, not a lifetime guarantee, which is exactly why you can adjust again. Regulation is also not a service. Your Superjust still needs regular maintenance, like any fine mechanical watch.

Mechanical, with a quiet helper.

MicroReg comes from the collaboration between HORAGE and miniswys SA, a spin-off of the Biel-based innovation company Creaholic. At its heart is a miniature actuator designed by Elmar Mock, co-inventor of the Swatch. It needs just two elements, a ceramic and a metal carrier: no coils, magnets or chips inside the watch, and no power consumption at all while it stands still.

It only wakes up when you ask it to adjust the rate. The rest of the time, Superjust is exactly what you see through the sapphire caseback: a HORAGE K2 micro-rotor movement with 72 hours of power reserve, beating away at 3.5 Hz and minding its own business.
