This is our very first collection featuring a mechanical movement. The 1968 Collection is designed with classic elements such as a second subdial, domed sapphire crystal glass, and a multi-layered dial.
NB! A mechanical movement needs hand-winding to keep it moving.
THE DAILY WIND
A MECHANICAL RITUAL
The mechanical movement used in these watches has a power reserve of 39 hours, meaning you have to hand-wind it every day or every second day to keep it moving. A daily ritual loved by many watch enthusiasts.
With a mechanical watch time is literally in your hands.
1968 Mechanical
The 1968 Mechanical collection pays homage to the final year of the mechanical golden era, just before quartz technology began to dominate the industry. Celebrating the charm of mechanical movements and designed to capture the understated elegant aesthetic and spirit of the late 1960s.
At first glance the watches are beautifully simple, but with daily wear their true character unfolds when the details of the layered dial and the case design reveal themselves, offering a deeper appreciation over time.
The daily ritual of winding a mechanical movement invites you to a small, reflective moment that connects you to the timeless art of watchmaking.
THE ART OF TIMEKEEPING
MECHANICAL MOVEMENT
In a world where convenience often overshadows tradition, a mechanical watch offers something different—a connection to the craftsmanship and precision that have defined horology for centuries. Each turn of the crown powers the gears, springs and levers in the movement.
Unlike quartz watches, which rely on batteries, or automatic watches, which get its energy from your wrist's movement, a mechanical watch is wound by hand. This daily ritual of winding is a direct interaction with time, and without it - time stops.
NOSTALGIC & MODERN
IN DEPTH WITH THE DESIGN
The watch combines the clean, elegant lines of the late 1960s with modern precision. Its 38mm case, featuring a mix of polished and brushed finishes, offers a perfect fit on any wrist, striking a balance between nostalgic charm and contemporary style.
The domed sapphire crystal provides durability and a clear view of the multi-layered dial, where details like the raised hour markers and minute track gradually reveal themselves. The subdial that shows seconds adds a subtle nod to vintage design, while enhancing the watch’s precise timekeeping.
This timepiece is designed to be appreciated more with every wear, blending thoughtful design and timeless style into a watch that feels both nostalgic and modern.
