Throne Watches Are Ridiculously Beautiful

By

It’s okay to stare—the watches in the second collection from Brooklyn based design company Throne are undeniably vintage-money-slick sexy.

They’ve dubbed this set, their “1.5 watches,” and each are handcrafted in the U.S. with the design process in Throne’s Williamsburg studio. Every timepiece is equipped with an upgraded Swiss Ronda 1009 movement that includes date function, an intricately designed sub dial, and of course, the standards that made the 1.0 such a success.

The 1.5 face is clean and modern but still speaks to the minimal, vintage watches that have inspired the Throne team from the beginning, and is set perfectly into a 40mm stainless steel case and adorned with an antireflective coated Sapphire crystal.

As with Throne Watches’ first collection, you can customize the watches by choosing from an selection of wristbands on the Throne website.

Along, with the standard 1.5 watches, Throne Watches is also introducing a capsule collection for the launch based on the three cities the founders grew up in. The “Los Angeles” watch face comes in a shimmering gold reminiscent of the California sun and shine of Hollywood past. The “Brooklyn” watch face is a bold black combining ideas of Gotham nights and present day street wear trends. And the “Boston” is a vibrant green showcasing the city’s Irish roots and historic love for the Celtics.

All of the new 1.5 Collection are available on ThroneWatches.com and select boutiques worldwide.

The standard collection will retail for $500 and the city watch collection at $550.

The pre-owned luxury watch market is down, but prices for these 2 Rolexes are up
Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi

According to the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most traded luxury watches, the pre-owned luxury watch market moved down around 0.1% last month, marking the sign of a patient market that wants more. This isn't necessarily surprising —the index has fallen 8.7% in the past year. But there are a couple of Rolex watches that are bucking the trend: the Rolex Starbucks and the Rolex Pepsi, which gained 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

The overall stagnation of the watch market can have various factors, including anticipation for newer releases. External factors like economic and geopolitical conflicts have also affected the way consumers choose to purchase watches. Prices soared during the pandemic, so a leveling out at some point was expected.
