Michael SatterfieldPinion might not be a name many Americans know when it comes to watches, but this new kid on the block has been mixing things up in the fine watch world. Since its launch in 2013, the company has come to be known for its simple sophisticated watches that remind me of the 1940s. Each watch uses a Swiss movement and is assembled in Britain by the craftsmen at Pinion.
Pinon does not currently list in retailers on their website so I don’t know if you can find these in the USA, however, you can always order online at PinionWatches.com. Their pricing ranges between $3000-$4000 USD, depending on the finish you select. This new watch with Iron Heart is going to be a great collector’s item for denim aficionados.
Check out the Official Press Release below:
UK-based watch company, Pinon is to partner with cult Japanese denim manufacturing company, Iron Heart Works Incorporated, to produce a range of new timepieces and products.
The first to be released under this new partnership will be the IHWA-01 (Iron Heart Watch 01) a limited edition, stainless steel 42mm Swiss manufactured wristwatch which will feature the IRON HEART logo, plus ‘Pride of Japan’ engraving on the reverse.
The Watch is based on the original Pinion Axis Steel, which was released in 2013 and will be finished, tested and assembled in the UK by Pinion’s experienced watchmakers.
