The luxury watch market is filled with automatic timepieces that will draw energy passively from your movement to power the inner workings, but the Toc19 Hand-Wound Watch takes things in a different direction. As the name denotes, the timepiece requires winding in order to be operational which does away with the need for automative movements or batteries. This will come as welcome news to anyone who is looking for a more simplified timepiece that is stylish and modern on the outside yet boasts more toned down inner workings.
The Toc19 Hand-Wound Watch boasts a Seagull ST3621 mechanical movement that is visible on the underside and comes in six different colors along with a sapphire crystal face for a strong yet stylish aesthetic.
