DEVON TREAD STEAMPUNK Limited Edition Available at Watchismo
![]() DEVON TREAD STEAMPUNK
This was just a dream project at first, but based on the
overwhelming positive response, it's now a reality and coming to
Watchismo this Fall!
The watch will be the epitome of the Steampunk movement with
its bolted brass casing and aeronautically engineered mechanical
conveyor belt time system. This is the ultimate in Victorian
Futurism...

Devon
is a reinvention of the watch. The Tread 1, daring and inventive,
represents the exploratory American spirit. The exposed movement is a
mesmerizing display of the patented interwoven system of conveyor belts.
This series of belts includes critical elements that allow the optical
recognition system to know every belt position at all times.
The Devon Works Tread watch is arguably the most cutting edge watch
made today, a timepiece of striking visuals and technology. The Tread 1
Watch features four internal 2-micron thin belts that spin within the
case to display the time. It’s powered by a lithium polymer
rechargeable cell that is charged by wireless induction. This electric
system runs the belts that are kept in tune with an optical technology.
Add that all up, and you have one of the most technically advanced,
visually stunning watches ever made. The Devon Works Tread 1 Watch was
designed by a California aerospace company, a group that is quite
comfortable with fitting square pegs through round holes. This watch is
a prime example of their technical prowess.
Operating out of California, DEVON is the only American watch company
using its own proprietary movement. In late 2010, the Tread 1 was
nominated for the Gran Prix d’Horlogerie de Genéve in the category of
Design and Concept Watch – the first American watch brand ever to
receive this laudable recognition.
Led by founder Scott Devon and headquartered in Los Angeles,
California, Devon Works, LLC is a design lab dedicated to creating
innovative luxury products that exemplify the American spirit.
"This
exquisite timepiece is making my jaw drop. It works with a series of
tiny conveyor belts that are a mere 2 microns thin, moving the numerals
into exactly the right positions at precisely the right times.
It's powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, and there's nothing to
plug in when it's time for replenishment -- it recharges using wireless
induction. Overseeing all this mechanical wizardry is an optical
recognition system that's constantly aware of the position of each of
those tiny belts.

Meccaniche Veloci Quattro Valvole & Superquadro Chronograph Watches
MECCANICHE VELOCI QUATTRO VALVOLE COLLECTION
|
QUATTRO VALVOLE - BREMBO CARBON FIBER CCM
LIMITED EDITION - HANDCRAFTED IN ITALY 4 SWISS AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS
Meccaniche Veloci and Brembo team up to create the World’s 1st and only Carbon-Ceramic watch.
For many years now the Formula 1 industry has championed the use of
carbon fiber as a superior material for creating a competitive edge.
With the current buzz surrounding the Moto GP and the Ducati
carbon-framed Desmosedici GP9, it seems only timely that two other
Italian companies should unveil the world's first carbon fiber encased
wristwatch, the Quattro Valvole CCM.
View the entire MECCANICHE VELOCI COLLECTION
Meccaniche Veloci is Italian for "Mechanical Speed". This watch has
four distinct faces for tracking time in four different time zones, each
with its own Swiss mechanical automatic movement. Keep time
simultaneously in London, New York, Rome, and Gstaad with this oversize,
4-movement automatic mechanical watch from Italy.
Quattro Valvole is a wristwatch born of an intuition, to produce a
prestigious object based on the idea of a four-phase engine piston, the
pulsing heart of the best competition racing cars. The watch is a mix of
motor engineering and personality, which links the worlds of
automobiles with luxury watches. The Quattro Valvole not only draws the
spirit that animates it from the world of racetracks, but also its
design and the essential components of the case and finishing. Thus,
Meccaniche Veloci has created this special wristwatch, which is
synonymous with exclusivity, elegance and a strong personality.

Meccaniche Veloci Superquadro Chronograph
is a watch designed for the true fans of motorbike racing. These
chronographs come with impeccable functioning and visible movement,
which makes them even more enticing. The Superquadro is equipped with
Swiss-made Valjoux 7753 mechanical self-winding calibre that performs 28
800 vibrations per hour and has 27 bearing jewels.

NORMAL WATCHES - You'll Need To Take A Second Look
Normal TimepiecesBut Also Out Of The Ordinary!At first glance, Normal is an elegant, minimal watch. But things are not so simple - a subtle effect is taking place as elusive numbers pass in and out of view. The hour "hand" is actually a disk, with the hand silhouette reversed out, exposing the numbered face beneath.Designer Ross McBride created Normal Timepieces as a venue to express his own aesthetic, and thoughts on design. He has been greatly influenced by pioneering mid-century American design, as well as the Japanese sense of minimalism, and craftsmanship.Ross believes that the products we choose for ourselves, particularly the ones we carry with us throughout the day, are extensions of us. They should act to reenforce our persona, not distract from it. Therefore, as policy, our identity never appears on the watch face, so that his brand never competes with your brand. Normal products are created for those who appreciate such subtlety, and have a quiet confidence in their own design sensibilities. |

BANE
LIMITED EDITION CHRONOGRAPH This SBA style chronograph features a gun metal stainless steel case with hidden under-bezel LED lamps that light the dial in a creepy glow. Leather studded strap and color scheme emulates the clothing of über-villain BANE from Batman The Dark Knight Rises.
UPDATE (August 2nd 2012): Due to the tragedies in Colorado, Diesel has
decided to not release the production of BANE watches out of respect for
the victims. We understand their perspective but also wish the heinous
acts of one subhuman in Colorado didn't further cast a dark shadow on
these inspiring series of films and everything related to it.
