The Battle of Rectangular Watches: Which One Reigns Supreme?

The Battle of Rectangular Watches: Which One Reigns Supreme?

Battle of rectangular watches

We put the Nostalgia against two of the world's most renowned square/rectangular watches: the Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Classic Monoface and the Cartier Tank Must. While these iconic timepieces boast rich histories and global fame, our focus lies on a straightforward specification comparison. The Nostalgia line holds its ground admirably, offering a compelling match in terms of features, design, and price.

The City Collection: Redefining the Dress Watch Industry

Yes, the world is round, and the hands of time move around the face of the watch. But does that mean every watch face needs to be round? We don’t think so.

So our rectangular cases combined with a stunningly attractive minimalist dial challenge the dominance of round faces in the world of watches, inviting the world of fashion to embrace our new style and shape.

Are you tired of all the boring, same-looking watches out there? Are you tired of all those lookalike round faces that, yes, tell the time, but don’t do so with the degree of style and panache you’re looking for?


That is why we designed The City Collection, a beautiful, perfect-sized, and high-end dress watch that breaks free from the constraints of the mainstream to deliver the most attractive aesthetics and precision timekeeping.

Design

Inspired by the iconic art deco era of the 1920s and 1930s, the City Collection blends the best of historical and modern watchmaking to create something truly unique. The square case and minimalistic dial push through the dominance of round-shaped watches.
