Do you believe in “happy accidents”? – we do, and this wonderful Trident timepiece offers perfect evidence.
When the first sample cases came through it was obvious we had not been clear enough in the specification file and, instead of a fully brushed case being set in front of us to assess, we were confronted with one that had facets that were both polished as well as brushed.
After the initial groans had faded and before initiating another sampling round, something happened – the more time we spent in the presence of this hybrid, the more apparent it was that we had, by accident, created something special and unique – a design that when teamed with either a complementary bracelet or beautifully hand-crafted leather strap, is a contemporary take on a vintage aesthetic. Modern vintage, positive mistake – this is rich territory for fans of the oxymoron-and in this instance they definitely apply!
