Automatic · 38 mm · Edition of 1,000
Aurel
The No.1 Automatic — one watch, made properly.
Now showing the correct time · --:--
Two hundred and six parts. Zero shortcuts.
Inside the No.1 beats a Swiss micro-rotor movement, hand-finished in Biel and regulated in five positions over fifteen days. It is thinner than a stack of six credit cards and accurate to within four seconds a day.
We could have bought a movement off the shelf. Most do. Instead we spent three years engineering one worth engraving our name on.
Calibre AU-01 · 70h reserveA dial you read at a glance, and study for years.
Eleven hand-applied coats of ivory lacquer, each cured and polished before the next. Markers are milled from a single brass billet, plated, and set by hand under magnification.
Nothing on this dial exists to impress at arm's length. Everything on it rewards the second look — which is, we think, the definition of quality.

“The rare debut that feels like a fourth generation. Restraint this confident usually costs five times as much.”Horological Review
“Aurel has made the dress watch interesting again by refusing to make it interesting. A masterclass in leaving things out.”The Metier Journal
“Wears like nothing, reads like a manifesto. The No.1 is the watch your other watches will be judged against.”Fifth & Main
