TYPE 01 - CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE
Introducing our newest masterpiece, the Champlain Bridge Timepiece – a watch that's not just a timekeeper, but a timeless tribute to an iconic landmark. We've taken the essence of history and fused it with design to create a watch that's as captivating as it is compelling.
Picture this: the dial of your watch, a sliver of time itself, is crafted from the majestic Champlain Bridge. A bridge that's seen six glorious decades of stories unfold, and now, it's your turn to become a part of its legacy. No two are alike, just like the moments they'll help you cherish.
But we didn't stop there. We partnered with none other than Architect Maxim Nasab to bring you a dial design that's nothing short of iconic. Nasab, a true Champlain Bridge aficionado, has even penned multiple articles about the bridge's rich history. When you glance at your watch, you'll see his passion shining through every detail.
The dial is designed is a masterpiece on its own. Designed with the Futura font, a choice that screams architectural finesse, it's a nod to the very essence of design and engineering. Look closer, and you'll spot the outer ring - a graphic scale that architects swear by. This watch isn't just an accessory; it's an homage to the world of structural artistry.
The cherry on top? Our logo. It's a marriage between the new bridge's towering ambition and the archaic charm of the old bridge's main span. With the Champlain Watch on your wrist, you're not just telling time; you're telling a story that spans generations.
And if you're a true enthusiast, take a look at the sub seconds on the watch. You'll find an engineering/architectural seal with vital info from the bridge, a secret only you and fellow connoisseurs will understand. It's a conversation starter, a piece of history, a work of art, and a watch all rolled into one.
Embrace history, celebrate design, and wear the Champlain Bridge on your wrist – because time waits for no one, but style is timeless. Get ready to turn heads and make your own mark in the pages of history with the Champlain Bridge Edition Timepiece. Grab yours now and be a part of the legacy!
