The Classic

One chain.Two widths.

A Cuban link in 14K gold over stainless steel, with a titanium nitride layer underneath that takes the wear. The same link and finish in both. The difference is how much you feel it.

12mm

You’ll know it’s on. Our most worn.

The Work

One thing.Done completely.

The dated record of the work on the chain: what changed, when it changed, and what every chain goes through before it ships. Every fault we have had is in it.

  1. August 2026
    The clasp

    The spring in a new batch was below our standard. We stopped production and wrote to every customer with an open order.

    Every batch of springs goes on the gauge before it is used.

  2. July 2026
    The first ten

    The first ten chains of a new run, gone through one at a time. That batch cost us five things.

    One link on one chain was spaced slightly off. It went back.

  3. June 2026
    The samples

    Pre-production samples, measured and tagged. The 8mm read 7.90, 7.91 and 7.82.

    We hold an 8mm to a tenth of a millimeter.
