COLOR: SILVERFOX

YEAR: SUMMER 2020

EDITION: 233/250

FRAME STAMP: JMMSX-2O

HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN

Generous in the lens and stark everywhere else, the only rules the SEXTON abides by are those of Gurney economy: lose what drags; keep the edge that matters. Named for Daniel Sexton Gurney, the racer-engineer who carried California hot-rod ingenuity onto the grandest circuits in Europe, this spectacle favors breadth over bulk, drawn wide across the face then pared to the point of poise.

Gurney understood how a minute intervention could alter the whole affair. His eponymous “flap” was little more than a strip at the trailing edge of a wing, yet it changed the wing’s relationship with the air. The SEXTON’s hairline detailing works a similarly sly perimeter, lending the expansive rim a fine, almost furtive finish. Slender temples and spare titanium construction keep the profile taut, with fine detailing concentrated at the edges and extremities.

The result is a sculptural, late-’70s silhouette rendered with the economy of racing hardware—an assertive horizontal span, finely edged and stripped of visual ballast.
