London

Automatic two-hand watch with tonneau-shaped case, white dial, and choice of strap.

SHIPPING 29th SEPTEMBER

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

The focus of the London is geometry and proportion, inspired by two-hand watches of the mid-seventies. For example, the white dial is dominated by a pattern of three-dimensional concentric ridges that lend the face texture and depth, as well as drawing your eye towards the midnight blue baton hands. Set into the dial are red Arabic numerals. These cut through the dial pattern and produce a stepped effect that helps to enhance the depth that the ridges provide. Meanwhile, their alternating sizes help to prevent the layout from looking uniform and draw the eye back from the centre to the rest of the dial. Finally, framing these elements is a blue railroad minute track. The focus on shape naturally extends to the rest of the watch, with the curved sapphire crystal and distinctive tonneau-shaped case designed to follow the curve of the wrist and offer a streamlined silhouette.

FLOWING LINES

The brushed tonneau case is made from stainless steel and offers a clean contemporary look that doesn’t distract you from the stunning dial. The watch itself is nice and thin, measuring 10.6mm thick, with the curved portion on the case being only 7.2mm deep. Two key details of the case are the polished chamfer that runs along the top edges, and the engraved groove that traces the outer edge of the case sides. These break up the case side profile and provide points of interest, whilst not disturbing the overall clean lines of the case shape.

Inside the watch is a Swiss-made Sellita SW300-1 automatic movement. The premium calibre has 25 jewels, a 56-hour power reserve, and a 4Hz beat rate, as well as being 1mm thinner than the more common SW200. The calibre has also been modified to remove the seconds hand, and it’s been adjusted for accuracy in four positions. The movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal on the watch’s case back, and you’ll see that the rotor has been vapour coated to match the colour of the dial.

"A BOLD WATCH THAT DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD."

STORY

The London is inspired by the classic two-hand cushion-cased watches of the 1970s. These watches were notable for putting a spin on traditional two-hand watches through the use of unique cases shapes, dial textures and colours. The London looks to continue this tradition and is of course named after England’s capital city because it aims to embody the spirit of the city during that era.
