Forty Seven

HIGHLIGHTs: WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT: A traditional pocket watch in a beautiful rose gold case that is evocative of the mid 20th-century, a linen-patterned dial that adds character, a Super-Luminova® index with an old-radium glow. All this packaged in a beautifully domed K1-hardened crystal, powered by a Swiss Quartz movement, and accompanied in a lanyard style oil-pulled leather strap for carry. To top it all, you can add a personalised message on the caseback. A beautiful present like no other, whether you are the recipient or the gift-giver, this watch takes you back on a journey of time. BACKSTORY OF THIS WATCH: In 1947, a nation of 300 million people emerged from two centuries of colonial rule. They were struck with poverty and overwhelmed with a devastating financial burden. Left with a per capita income of merely $50, a literacy rate of just 12%, and a paltry GDP, the people had every reason to spend their energy to look back in the past and exercise their right to retaliate. Instead, they spent their time reimagining a future. They wrote a constitution, built institutions to educate generations. They chose construction over reprisals, they forwent reparations, they chose ambition over resentment. The dividends of those choices are visible today. That generation chose to build, so their children could send rockets to Mars, or rovers to the Moon. They chose to build so their girls can soon fly fighter-planes, and build silicon-valley tech. That generation was defined by not what they inherited, but where they chose to spend their time - the future. This watch represents our collective ambition to build a future. This is where it all began. Why BWC? Don't wear a watch, wear a story.
