Made for someone who keeps stories alive.
This is the watch for someone who knows that the most beautiful objects often come at the end of an era, not the start. It is the last great age of the pocket watch, in your hand.
The details the camera frames.
Draw it from your pocket and the open dial turns under glass, the gold-tone case catching light like a frame on a screen. The chain has real weight; the analog is the whole point. It is the kind of object people ask to hold before they ask what it costs.
Why they chose EPOCH
Like wearing a year
“It feels like wearing a piece of the year it's named after. The era settles into the wrist, and that's what stays with you.”
The detail is the point
“I bought it for the build. The detail is what stays. The dial, the case, the small things you only catch the second time you look.”
A collection, not a watch
“I bought one. A month later I wanted another decade. They turned what was a single purchase into a collection. I wasn't planning to start one.”
The year cinema was born.
December 28th, 1895. The Lumière brothers held the first public film screening in the basement of the Grand Café in Paris. Ten minutes of moving image, and the world had a new way to remember itself. Marconi was working on wireless telegraphy in Italy. Oscar Wilde was at the height of his wit, six months from prison.
The pocket watch that closes the 19th-century chapter belongs to a person who walked between gaslight and the first flicker of the cinema.
Timeless in every detail
Japanese quartz, accurate to 15 sec/month. 3-year battery included.
