No battery, no network, no update. Works forever.
A mechanical movement is a simple promise: as long as you maintain it, it will keep running. Not for years but for generations. No planned obsolescence, no compatibility issues, no software that becomes outdated. Just gears, springs, and the energy from your wrist.
We work exclusively with Swiss self-winding mechanical movements sourced from unused stock. These are proven calibers that have stood the test of time, waiting to be put to use. No need to reinvent what already works beautifully.
What makes a mechanical watch different is its relationship with time itself. While everything around us becomes obsolete faster and faster, a well-maintained movement can outlive its owner. It can be serviced, repaired, brought back to life by a watchmaker decades from now. The knowledge exists, the parts can be made, the skills are passed down.
No battery means no disposal every few years. No electronics means no e-waste. Just metal components that can be cleaned, oiled, adjusted. It's old technology, yes, but it's technology designed to endure.
Does it require care ? Absolutely. A service every few years, careful handling, proper storage. But that's the trade-off. You invest time and attention, and in return, you get something truly lasting.
In a world of disposable everything, there's something quietly radical about wearing a mechanism designed to work forever. Not forever with an asterisk. Just forever.
Movements mounted in CB watches are repurposed, that means they come from unused stock, then they are revised and controlled, to be finally assembled with the other components. Repurposing at is best.
We offer the option for our CB01-GMT collection to garantee more accurate settings by chronometer certification delivered by the COSC. Every concerned watch is provided with a unique certificate.
