HISTORY & DESIGN

The history and details behind this watch.

AN5740 Railroad

A quietly distinctive watch for those who appreciate railway pocket-watch design.

Wind it by hand in pocket-watch use; let the automatic movement wind on the wrist. This is a mechanical model made to let you feel the passage of time.

The design pays homage to a British watch from 1904 and uses Roman numerals. Watch accuracy became a matter of life and death not only in war, but earlier on the railways.

As Britain’s railway network expanded, companies used their own head-office times. Major interchange stations displayed several companies’ times, creating confusion for passengers changing trains. In the United States, single-track operations also led to collisions and loss of life. A shared standard of time was needed to reduce accidents.

Our original account records that, by 1848, railway companies had agreed on a standard based on Greenwich Mean Time, and people increasingly set their watches to it.

To respect the original design, the dial is luminous but the hands are not.
