A LEGACY THAT TRANSCENDS GENERATIONS
THE BIRTH OF THE MILITARY WATCH
During World War I, soldiers needed a practical way to keep track of time in the field. The pocket watch, traditional at the time, proved impractical in the trenches.
Thus, the first military wristwatches were born. They were simple, durable, and designed to withstand the harshest conditions.
THE WATCH THAT ACCOMPANIED HEROES
During World War II, the battlefield presented even greater challenges. The Allies standardized the design of the field watch to include a compact size, highly legible dials, and water resistance.
This was the watch trusted by soldiers such as paratroopers and pilots during dangerous missions marking crucial moments of courage and strategy.
THE WATCH THAT BECOMES AN ICON
After decades on the battlefield, field watches earned their place in people’s everyday lives. This was the moment when they began to be reinterpreted as accessories of both style and utility.
Brands around the world embraced the classic design to create timepieces that could fit any occasion from the urban jungle to the remote mountains.
THE FORGING OF THE SENTINEL
In the modern era, NORDHORNE brings back the essence of field watches with the Sentinel. Inspired by more than a century of history, it blends the classic and functional design of military timepieces with the versatility demanded by the contemporary man.
