This year marks a historic milestone for Swiss watchmaker Aerowatch as it celebrates 115 years of uninterrupted craftsmanship. To commemorate the occasion, the family-owned brand has unveiled the Milan Pocket Watch, a stunning fusion of heritage and contemporary design. Limited to just 115 pieces, this exclusive timepiece pays homage to Aerowatch’s roots in Switzerland’s Jura region, renowned for its watchmaking tradition.
A Modern Take on Classic Elegance
The Milan Pocket Watch features a 48mm satin-finished stainless steel case, blending robustness with refined aesthetics. Its dark gray dial showcases the brand’s signature pine needle pattern, a motif inspired by the lush forests surrounding Aerowatch’s home. This intricate detailing, previously seen in the Milan wristwatch collection, adds a touch of natural elegance.
Precision and Legibility
At the 6 o’clock position, a grooved small seconds sub-dial nods to classic pocket watch design. The bold indexes and hands are coated with SuperLuminova, ensuring clear readability even in dim lighting.
A Mechanical Masterpiece
Powering the watch is the hand-wound AERO DB9 SWISS movement, visible through a sapphire crystal case back. The sandblasted plate creates an industrial-chic contrast against blued screws, polished chatons, and sunburst-finished winding wheels. This intricate craftsmanship transforms the movement into a visual spectacle.
With the Milan Pocket Watch, Aerowatch not only celebrates its 115-year legacy but also reaffirms its commitment to precision, artistry, and timeless design.
