Named after the first Roman emperor, Agustus is a study in disciplined strength and refined authority. It does not demand attention. It commands it quietly.
The Nostalgia Agustus is a 28 x 40 mm rectangular quartz watch in polished hardened stainless steel, 7 mm thick, with a silver dial, Roman numerals, a Swiss ETA 901.001 movement and an 11-year battery.
Its rectangular 28 x 40 mm case reflects the architectural clarity of ancient Rome, balanced, deliberate, enduring. Crafted from hardened stainless steel and finished with sharp, confident lines, the profile remains remarkably slim at just 7 mm. It slips effortlessly under a cuff, yet carries a presence that lingers.
The dial is a composition of order and texture. Roman numerals frame a finely patterned center, a nod to classical geometry. Blued hands cut across the silver surface with precision and restraint, offering a striking contrast that shifts subtly with the light. The proportions are deliberate. Nothing is excessive. Nothing is accidental.
Protected by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, clarity remains uncompromised in every condition. The arched, screw-down case back reinforces durability, while 5 ATM water resistance ensures resilience beyond the boardroom, suitable for swimming and snorkelling.
Inside beats a Swiss ETA 901.001 quartz calibre, operating at 32,000 vibrations per hour. With an accuracy of ±3 minutes per year and an exceptional 11-year battery life, Agustus delivers reliability measured in years, not days. Hours and minutes only, because true authority does not rush.
Each piece carries its own unique serial number, underscoring its individuality. The 20 mm black leather strap completes the composition, grounding the polished steel with quiet depth.
Agustus is not inspired by power. It reflects it.

Style and QUALITY Beyond Expectations
This watch was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Minimalist elegance yet catches the eye. My jeweler that adjusted the links noted the VERY high end quality overall.

Exceptional piece of craftsmanship. I can easily add that Soner can easily match entry level luxury watches...Recommend this brand to all watch lovers.

Beautiful unisex piece and superb service!
I had the absolute privilege of purchasing a Söner piece and, in the process, get together with founder and brand owner Freddie. The watch is excellent. Superb build quality fot the price plint. A very elegant watch yet versatile and wearable.

Great dress watch (NOT ROUND)!!
I have now had my Nostalgia London watch for right around a week now and am really enjoying it. It has such a classic look and feel without the drawbacks of a vintage watch that could have unseen ware or damage. The Strap is very high quality leather.

Momentum Hoover
Looking for a lasting timepiece I found this site and decided for the momentum. Especially because my granddad worked at Hoover in the 1950s and my mom gave me the funds to get something to remember her by.

Stunning Timepiece
This watch reminds me of my 1939 Hamilton. It's so elegant, and every time I wear it I get comments on what a beautiful watch. Very high quality. Very rich feel too. I would highly recommend this.
Rectangular watches are not a variation of round design. They are a different design philosophy.
