Watch Description

A tonneau throwback to the Jazz Age.

Evoking the elegance of early 20th century Art Deco, the Zephyr's slim, retrofuture case dances with light, deftly balancing lines and curves, while its guilloché dial captivates the eye. Classicists will recognize the two-handed movement as an older, purer form of art on the wrist. The clean aesthetic allows the Zephyr's intricate finishes to take center stage.

Though the tonneau case shape is synonymous with formality today, it was worn without pretension in the early 20th century. We’d like to revive that idea—you don’t need a special occasion to dress with class.

 

Our mission statement for the Zephyr was to distill everyday elegance into a wristwatch. To do this, we realized we needed to go back to an era before the circle was the ubiquitous shape for a timepiece. We love how the elongated silhouettes of the '20s and '30s exude a sophisticated swagger. You can practically smell the cigar smoke.
