From the Moon Landing to Woodstock, 1969 is a year that will forever be woven in the fabric of our culture. It is also the year that took the watch world by storm with the invention of the first automatic chronograph. It's fitting that Singer Reimagined, turned to this iconic era to celebrate its latest 1969 collection with the new 1969 Timer and 1969 Chronograph. This two-piece release celebrates vintage aesthetics while maintaining modern sensibilities and technological sophistication.
Limited production of 50 pieces in 2023
Ref. 1969-Timer
The 1969 Timer is the first of Singer Reimagined time pieces to bring a more traditional watch display to its face with three hands. The sharp piano black lacquered dial allows for time to stand boldly with the numbers, indexes, and crown ring all given the golden touch. The zero-reset flyback system uses a proprietary clutch system allowing for the central sweeping seconds hand to be used as an intuitive one-minute counter, while the 2 o'clock pusher provides for an effortless reset and restart without needing to stop.
Continuing its nod to the late 1960s, Singer Reimagined has also re-envisioned the bracelet for this latest collection, swapping out the rubber, leather, and cloth racing inspired straps they're associated with, for sleek stainless steel in an edgy "H" pattern. The stunning bracelet weave brushed and polished steel in a comfortable design that allows for a nearly custom fit, courtesy of the micro-adjustment mechanism.
