Watches are a statement beyond telling the time. For every individual, it takes on a different meaning, such as reflecting your personality or style. For some, it's an everyday inspiration that resonates with our memories or experiences.
And for others, it's a unique connection with hardware and admiration of details that go into a timepiece to appreciate. As part of the timepiece collection of distinctive aesthetics, I've handpicked a selected of crafted watches that are unique in execution, inspiration and materials that offer something functional in a special way.

Topograph Automatic
German industrious design that spans the STERNGLAS collection, angles and sharpness feature prominently on the exterior of their timepieces. Intricate hour, minute and second repeaters border the perimeter in consistent fashion, as seen in the Topograph timepiece. That consistency ripples down to the sleek two-tone hands, which result in an aesthetic that is super-crisp, minimal, yet distinctive among minimal watches. A range of large and small cases using hard or softer colours make these accessible in style for everyone.

The Masonic from Aggregate Watch uses real concrete dial and bezel structured with 316L stainless steel offer an industrious look as a result of the naturally textured material. The alluring range of colour combinations that either contrast or compliment the steel and concrete for a bold, meticulous look.
