The classic style watches drawing inspiration from the paperback revolution

Launched Friday, 30 September 2016 & built in Britain. Nº 1934 classic style watches are set five years after our third Chapter. Nº 1934 celebrates the beginning of widespread access to literature, referencing the period leading up to the paperback publishing revolution. Our signature silhouette takes on a contemporary look because it adopts lugs tooled directly into the watch head. It is finished beautifully with our refined 22 mm handmade leather strap. We build the product using tailor-made components from every corner of the globe (from USA to South America, Asia to Switzerland and of course, UK).

The classic style watches referencing 1930s era watches

The classic style watches measure 41.5 mm across, 47.5 mm high including the lugs with an overall case depth of 10.5 mm. Applied directly onto a domed dial our bespoke numerals take reference from 1930s era watches. They are complimented by our unique “tuning fork” indices. Each finished product utilises a delicate two-tone sunray finish that brings depth and contrast. Our traditionally formed custom-made hands complete the dial. The watches have been modernised with our engineered casino chip enamel screw down back. They are finished with our signature red aluminium crown embossed and our brand’s iconic trademark.

The watch strap made by hand in the UK

Each refined watch strap is made by hand in UK using vegetable tanned dyed through shoulder. The rich colour which is treated with waxes and oils offers a distressed effect which lightens in colour when folded or turned. Therefore the natural grain is left intact to show all the growth marks and unique character to give a distinctive antique look with this mellow feeling skin. The strap has been designed and manufactured to fit a 22 mm lug width with an overall thickness of 3 mm. It is embossed with the WT Author ‘A’ trademark. Each strap is completed with a polished stainless steel buckle and finished with rounded, burnished strap edges.
