The Devil's in the detail

Keeping with tradition, the matte black base layer remains, as does the faded tan printing for most of the dial treatment. However, we have added a dark grey metallic base for the minute track upon which faded tan minute marks are printed - it’s a simple yet clever contrast to bring the dial to life.

A polished handset with a faded tan running seconds hand, polished applied batons and the white moat of luminous compound adding its own accent, make this a fantastic, engaging dial that switches from the deepest black to a dark blue gradient, owing to the multiple coatings of blue Anti-Reflection treatment on the flat sapphire crystal.

The tradition lives on.

CONISTON WATER

This little stretch of water in the Lake District opened our eyes to a world of water speed records and we soon delved into the world of the Campbells. Such brilliance. Such daring. Such commitment. We have been inspired so deeply by the efforts of Donald and Sir Malcolm that we felt it appropriate, and our honour, to celebrate these pillars of British endeavour. We must cherish the legacy that we create, and those legacies that resonate with us.

FRAMEWORK

The Coniston Automatic uses the same framework of dial construction as the original, using an outer bezel that sits just underneath the crystal and angles downwards steeply towards a moat of illumination - a white ring of luminescent material that glows brightly at night. The bezel on this iteration has a subtly polished chamfer on the edge that joins these two faces, and adds a little visual sparkle that moves constantly with your wrist.
