Briston - "Clubmaster Legend"
The independent French watch brand
Bristol Watches can be found in the French Pavilion, Hall A1.228.
With the „Clubmaster Legend Diver“, the French brand Bristol pays homage to the diving watches of the 1960s, while the „Clubmaster Legend Small Second“ reflects the elegant understatement of the 1950s.
The „Clubmaster Legend Diver“
Timeless vintage elements meet modern technology in the "Clubmaster Legend Diver," perfectly embodying Bristol's signature sporty-elegant style. Its 40 x 40 mm case is available in either cotton resin with a unique character or 316L stainless steel.
With its slight curvature, the sapphire crystal, along with the polished, round steel indices and slim, arrow-shaped hands, accentuates the watch's elegant lines, while the easy-grip, unidirectional rotating bezel, also featuring a sapphire crystal insert and perfectly legible Super-LumiNova C3 numerals, emphasizes the timepiece's sporty character. All models are water-resistant to 20 bar.
The "Clubmaster Legend Diver" is powered by the Japanese automatic caliber Miyota 8315 with a 60-hour power reserve. In addition to a durable black or navy blue rubber strap with a quick-release system, the watch is also available with a classic Bristol steel bracelet with a folding clasp.
About Bristol:
Brice Jaunet founded the independent French watch brand Briston in 2013. Inspired by his grandfather Jacques, the founder of the NewMan brand, and with 15 years of experience in the watch industry at renowned brands such as Cartier, Zenith and Baume & Mercier, he realized his dream of establishing his own brand in 2012.
Briston is now known for its "sporty-chic" style, reminiscent of the British elegance that became popular in the USA in the 1950s. This aesthetic is reflected in the shapes, colors, and materials of the first collection, particularly in the Clubmaster series, which established Briston's trademark in 2013 with its distinctive square-rounded case and unique tortoiseshell acetate case, previously used only in eyewear.
Bristol successfully combines traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with a modern, sporty flair and has established itself in the watch world through this unique mix.
The „Clubmaster Legend Small Second“
The next model in the "Clubmaster" line, the "Clubmaster Legend Small Second," exudes understated vintage elegance with modern touches. Its cushion-shaped case, also crafted from cotton resin or stainless steel, measures 39 x 39 millimeters and is suitable for both men's and women's wrists. Originally designed for pilots to calculate flight times, the watch features a matte, bidirectional bezel that allows for the display of a second time zone. As with other models, a subtly domed sapphire crystal lends the design an elegant lightness.
The "Clubmaster Small Second" is powered by a Miyota 82S5 automatic movement with a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. A small display window in the four-screw stainless steel case back offers a view of the balance wheel. The dials are inspired by classic 1950s designs and are available in white-silver, black, or navy blue.
Briston has equipped this timepiece with new vintage calfskin leather straps featuring a quick-release system. The stainless steel bracelet has a triple-folding clasp with an engraved Briston logo.
