Ambassador no.5
The 5th Ambassador prototype watch features a nickel-plated stainless steel case and caseback. We wanted a case with a rougher material finish that would lend itself to more urban aesthetics.
Stately, elegant, and focused – the Ambassador series embodies our vision of a modern-day field watch. From the faceted lugs to the bevelled case and smoothed bezel, the Ambassador is the consequence of the influence that the city of Vienna has on us. It serves as a monument to the understated – yet pointed - diplomatic nature of our urban landscape. The Ambassador, in its time-only complication, is the utilitarian companion to a decorated life that requires no more embellishment.

Specifications
The Ambassador is powered by a self-winding, Swiss, 25-jewell ETA calibre, with a 40h power reserve that ensures your watch keeps ticking while on standby. Each dial is hand-painted with a porcelain composite, with prominently applied numerals that provide maximum visibility from every angle. Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, scratch resistant and worry-free. Our watches are shock-proof, and moisture resistant, making them suitable for sport and an active lifestyle. The Ambassador model is splash-resistant, but is not waterproof.
Each watch is made on-demand, with exception of select in-stock models, which allows us to offer a wide range of flexibility when it comes to your choice of materials and colours. Our watch cases are cast from brass or silver, and are available in yellow gold and rhodium plating. We offer four different dial finishes, and two variations of numerals.
Craftsmanship
All of our watches are hand-assembled in Vienna, Austria, with 95% of parts sourced from the EU and Switzerland. Our cases are professionally cast and hand-finished in France, which undergo a relentless quality and performance assessment before being allocated to a build. We manufacture all of our dials completely in-house under a single roof, and have developed our own unique processes to ensure that our dials will age gracefully through multiple generations of wear. It takes three weeks before a dial is fitted into an Ambassador watch. We can only produce each dial colour once, which is why we have pre-made a limited quantity of dial specifically for the Ambassador line. Once our dial stock runs out, we will produce a new colour-way.
Once fully assembled, each watch is put through it’s paces in vigorous testing to ensure precise timekeeping, durability, and comfort. After testing is complete, our watches go through a final basic service, are packaged, and ready to be shipped or personally delivered to our respective clients.
