Materials & craft

As with many Archive Series pieces, the craft story is less about precious finishing and more about preserving an unusually graphic historic silhouette.
How to choose & style
This is a conversation watch. Keep the outfit simple and let the dial do the work: knit polo, cropped jacket, vintage denim or anything with a slight mid-century mood.
