Giudisa

"The Bearing"

The Giudisa wears its compass ring the way a good jacket wears a lining — visible if you look for it, never the point. A sunburst dial under applied Arabic numerals and cathedral hands, set behind a box-profile crystal that lends the face its depth. The fluted crown gives winding a deliberate weight. Inside, an NH35: accurate, quietly reliable, and serviceable for a fraction of what the watch costs. Offered in seven executions, each finished to order.

The Executions

Seven Ways to Wear It

The range varies on three axes — the color of the dial, the metal of the hands and applied numerals, and the strap it is finished on. Choose one to see it in detail.

On the Movement

A watch you can afford to keep

There is little sense in owning a watch whose service costs as much as the watch. The Giudisa runs a movement chosen for exactly that reason — accurate, hacking, hand-winding, and serviceable by any competent watchmaker. Serviced every eighteen months to three years, it will never cost you more than the timepiece itself. That is the whole point.

The fit

The watch goes under the cuff and stays there. If it catches on the way out of a sleeve, the case is fighting the shirt and the shirt should win.

Gilt hands against a black dial is the warmest a formal watch gets away with. The oxblood strap is the one liberty — it sits in the same warm family as nothing else you are wearing, which is why it reads as a choice.

The fit

Knit close through the chest with the sleeve stopping at the wrist bone — a dress watch under a bunched sleeve looks like it belongs to someone else.

Green wants earth tones and gets them. The walnut strap and the brown suede are the same family in different shades, which is the pairing tailors have never argued about.
