We are proud and excited to introduce our latest collection of watches dedicated to our master watchmaker, Gilbert O. Gudjonsson, who has over 50 years of experience in the field of watchmaking. We have named this collection: Gilbert "Vintage Watch Collection" in his honour.
Gilbert started apprenticing as a watchmaker at the tender age of 16 and soon discovered a real passion for the craft, often choosing to skip summer holidays and work long night and weekend hours in order to hone his skills. His passion for restoring timepieces to the highest level began early and soon he became an expert in the repair and restoration of vintage watches.
Gilbert’s passion for vintage watches has never faded. He especially loves the look and style of wristwatches from the 1950's and 60’s and it’s from this enthusiasm that we draw inspiration for this collection. Wristwatches of that era were elegant and simple with a focus on one essential objective: an easy-to-read time. In those days everyone wore a watch, there was no other way to know the time.
The steel case of the Gilbert Collection moderate diameter size of 38.5mm, is striking yet timeless. It has a Swiss made mechanical movement “Execution Top” with automatic winding, 25 jewels, custom decorations, blue screws and has a rhodium plated finish. All of which can be examined in detail through a sapphire crystal case back. All decorations and craftsmanship is of the highest quality.
