The new 1968 collection

History

Inspired by the elegance of a bygone era, the 1968 Sixtyeight collection is a tribute to timeless design and refined simplicity. Subtle yet full of character, it reveals itself through delicate dial details, layered depth, balanced proportions, and a versatile aesthetic that suits any occasion.

At its heart, this collection is an invitation to embrace classic sophistication in its purest form. An essential watch that belongs in any collection.

The moon's cycle: 29.53059 days

Moonphase complication explained

The moonphase indicator shows the current phase of the moon as seen from Earth, using a rotating disc with a moon and stars visible through a cutout on the dial. It advances slightly each day to match the real moon’s 29.5-day cycle. While mostly decorative today, it nods to early watchmaking, when moonphase tracking was used for navigation and calendars.

1968 Moonphase

Only 250 pcs

This is a rare release for us. We're bringing back the moonphase with a bold, eye-catching guilloché dial in a striking color. And trust us, when we say we're over the moon about this one, we mean it. Only 250 pieces will ever be made, making this a true collector’s item.

Will be delivered in two batches.

Our mission

Keeping track of the moments in time

By creating the alternative to the watch in the safety box, we have a vision to be relevant today, tomorrow and beyond. A focus to make simple, affordable, yet spectacular timepieces that last a lifetime. For us, vintage is not just a reference of style; it is the journey to becoming it. The journey will take you through eventful moments and memorable days to occasions that change your whole perspective. We hope that one day your watch will make you look back at it all.

Make moments, give it history - let it become vintage.

TIMELESS DESIGN

BUILT TO LAST

STEEL & GOLD

We use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Finland, which is commonly used for fine watches and jewelry worldwide. Additionally, our models with gold plating are, of course, made with genuine ISO-certified gold plating, ensuring that the precious metals can withstand the test of time.

SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

We only use highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on all our models, combined with an anti-reflective coating for better visibility. Our products are made with Japanese precision. It may be expensive, but it is the key to lifelong quality.

MOVEMENTS (CALIBER)

We carefully select Swiss and Japanese-made quality movements, as they are simply the best in the world. We choose specific calibers from Miyota, Sellita, and TMI that have been real-world tested and proven to be 'workhorses' for optimal durability.

A-GRADE FACTORIES

We use A-grade factories and suppliers for all components, making a difference in all the small but important details. Everything, from the feel of the round steel edges to the quality feel and weight of the bracelets, dial details, quality control, and certified work environment ethic.

No tools needed

New look in seconds

All our watches are made with a quick release system for the straps and bracelet. This means, you can easily change between straps or bracelets, to give your watch a whole new look. Pop on the silicone strap for sport activities and change it to the steel bracelet for the night out.

Tell your own story

Every moment counts, and every watch tells a story. With our complimentary engraving service, your timepiece becomes more than just a way to track hours and minutes; it becomes a personal testament to your journey. Whether it's a date, a name, or a special message, we'll engrave it on the case back, turning your watch into a timeless keepsake. It's our way of helping you mark those eventful moments and memorable days. After all, our mission is not just about creating watches, but about making moments. Let your watch be a reflection of your story, and one day, let it become vintage.
