The Pylo is built around a single visual idea: a dial that does not behave the same way twice. The graduated red surface uses photochromic glass — Storm calls it lazer glass technology — that shifts through a spectrum of colours as the viewing angle changes, so the watch reads quite differently under a desk lamp than it does in daylight or at an evening table. The matte black case and fine mesh bracelet keep everything else deliberately quiet, which is sensible: competing with the dial would be pointless. At 41.5mm the proportions are assertive without being heavy, and the mesh sits flat and flexible against the wrist in a way that suits both shirtsleeves and bare skin.

Learn more about Storm
Storm was founded in London in 1989 and spent the next decade doing something few watch brands attempt: treating the case as sculpture rather than a container for a dial.
The house style is immediately identifiable — mirror-polished steel, faceted and asymmetric cases, dials with no numerals at all, and a fondness for finishes that make the whole watch look like a single machined block of metal.
Some of the designs abandon conventional time display entirely, using rotating discs, hidden apertures or coloured mirror crystals that only reveal the time at certain angles. The Remi and Zorex lines have carried that idea for years.
The brand designs and produces its own watches rather than licensing the name, and sells through its own stores and jewellers, mostly in the UK and Europe.
Movements are quartz throughout. The point has never been the mechanics; it is that a Storm watch does not look like anything else in the window, which after thirty-five years remains a fair claim.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
