Madrugada
Madrugada
The small hours, on the wrist.
Madrugada is the Portuguese word for the hours before dawn — the quietest part of the night, when the house is still and the mind is at its clearest. This is the first watch designed by Hagora from the ground up, and it is the entry piece of our Still of the Night collection: a watch about calm, stillness and the pleasure of doing one thing at a time.
The dial carries nothing it doesn't need. A deep black ground, one applied Hagora symbol — our notched O — at twelve, and two polished dauphine hands with a slim central seconds. No numerals, no date, no text. The hands are faceted so they catch the light from one side and fall into shadow on the other, which is how you read the time on a dial with no markers: by light, not by print.
The 39 mm case is mirror-polished 316L stainless steel with a broad, flat bezel that frames the dial like a window, and at 12.1 mm it sits comfortably under a cuff. Lugs are 20 mm, so any strap you own will fit; it ships on black leather with an alligator-grain finish and a polished steel buckle. It is rated to 10 ATM, so a dress watch you don't have to take off at the beach.
Inside is the Miyota 9015, the Japanese slim automatic with a 28,800 vph high beat, hand-winding, hacking seconds and around 42 hours of power reserve — the same movement we use in Vigia, chosen for its thinness and its reliability. Each one is regulated in our Bristol workshop before casing.
