We are very happy to present our brand new watch called "La Tocante". A project that we've had in mind for several years and which is finally coming to fruition!
"Tocante" was the french slang term used at the beginning of the 20th century to refer to a watch. Because it is precisely to this era that this original creation transports us, more specifically during the "Great War".
"La Tocante" is indeed a reinterpretation of the iconic "soldier's watch" or "trench watch" which was created during the First World War by attaching a pocket watch to a strap so that it could be worn on the wrist. A much more practical watch than the traditional pocket watch in combat situations. This watch is considered to be the first watch worn on the wrist. As such, it embodies a significant milestone in the history of watchmaking.
The design of "La Tocante" incorporates the characteristic elements of trench watches with its round shape reminiscent of pocket watches, the Art Deco typography, and its hand-stitched leather cuff strap.
To further accentuate the "vintage" aspect of the watch and reinforce the authenticity of its design, the case is made of solid bronze which will develop a patina over time through slight oxidation.
The strap and the assembly of the watch are made by craftsmen in Besançon, the historical cradle of watchmaking.
