The Toledano & Chan b/1.3r: Combining Innovation and Elegance in One Sleek Titanium Package

In the watchmaking industry, boredom has no place and innovation is its nemesis. Breaking free from this monotony is the latest timepiece from Toledano & Chan, the b/1.3r. It’s the brand’s fourth release in two years, showcasing a full-titanium case and an exquisitely lustrous 18k gold dial with a ripple pattern design. This release came as a sigh of relief amid an avalanche of repetitive releases that flooded the market in the post-COVID era. The design of the case draws inspiration from Marcel Breuer’s architectural masterpieces, and the Rolex Midas.

The power source of the watch is a Sellita SW100 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. It is priced at $10,200, a significant increase from its stainless steel predecessors, as a result of the intricate craftsmanship and high-end materials used. Detailed consideration is given to the machining and finishing of the titanium for the bracelet along with gold for the dials. Now crafted in Switzerland, this watch testifies to the continuous pursuit of quality and innovation by Toledano & Chan.
