The Douglas DC-3 did not simply change aviation — it changed what flying meant. For the first time, passengers stepped aboard an aircraft that offered genuine comfort, confidence, and style at altitude. This watch draws from both sides of that legacy: the disciplined clarity of cockpit instruments and the understated luxury of the cabin. Where those two worlds meet, a timepiece takes shape — purposeful in its construction, distinctive in its character, and rooted in one of the most celebrated aircraft ever built.
Champagne served at altitude, upholstered seats, and a cabin crew who made every passenger feel like a guest of honour. First-class air travel in the golden age was an experience that began at the gate — passengers dressed for the occasion, unhurried, attended to with practiced grace. A way of travelling the world still looks back on with a smile.
The Douglas DC-3 wore its aluminium fuselage like a work of art — riveted panels buffed to a mirror finish, catching sky and light in equal measure. That same pursuit of surface perfection shaped the watch case, where polished flanks and Art Deco lines create shifting reflections with every movement of the wrist. Different eras, the same devotion to craft and form.
There is something quietly confident about a watch that spells the day out in full. No abbreviation, no ambiguity — just the day, present and immediate. An interconnected disc mechanism advances the indication with instantaneous precision at midnight, a feat of mechanical coordination hidden beneath the dial. For those who travel, who move, who live by the rhythm of days — this is the complication that was made for them.
Creative director
I have always been drawn to Art Deco — its streamlined forms, its obsession with surface, its refusal of anything superfluous. The dial was where these two worlds met naturally: the precision of cockpit instruments and the elegance of Art Deco, balanced into a single composition. The colours came from the golden age of aviation — a palette full of depth, character, and quiet confidence. Designing this watch felt like a conversation I never wanted to end.
Master Watchmaker
Building this watch begins long before the movement is assembled. The case surfaces are finished by hand, the movement is regulated across multiple positions, and every component is inspected before it reaches the next stage. What you wear is the result of that process — nothing more, nothing less.
