Homage to mid 20th-Century watches
The Historique and Corniche are really pushing the fact that it’s a true homage to mid 20th-Century watches. Using materials like hesalite, creates a warm vintage aesthetic that’s impossible to replicate with any other crystal. Add a tapered unpadded calf leather strap, a classic steel buckle and an old school slide-out box and you’ve got a textbook vintage watch that comes one hundred percent free of compromise.
Reliably ticking away behind the screw down case back is their first ever mechanical movement, featuring a date complication and 42 hour power reserve from Miyota.The Historique might be a new watch, but it’s still been made the good old way.
About Corniche
We’ve combined a long-lasting love for watches with a strong belief that luxury and versatility doesn’t have to be compromised. Hence, our mission is simple. To help people look great keeping track of their most precious possession: their time.
We find our inspiration in our roots - namely the Côte d'Azur. After all, this is where we spent countless childhood summers, living in Sanary Sur Mer, a small village on the coast of Provence. Like many before us, we fell in love with its rocky coastline, the smell of ancient pine trees and the warm evening air filled with the chi-chi-chi of crickets. F. Scott Fitzgerald described it as a playground with a fairy blue sea. Coco Chanel sunbathed here aboard the Duke of Wellington's yacht. Even the Parisians stay for the summer – and they’re never wrong about anything. And we, well, we were just kids. But we kept coming back.
