Watch

Truly one of my favorite dress watch picks from the worlds first manufacturer of automatic wristwatches; the revolutionary hand setting mechanism of the HARWOOD is unique and is still manufactured using the original construction methods employed in 1922. A crown which is normally used to wind a wristwatch is noticeably missing. The winding of the watch as well as setting the hands, is achieved by turning the fluted bezel. A colored visual indicator at the 6 o’clock position informs you whether the watch is operational or is in the adjusting mode.
