The Ones John Had To Make.

Every Collectors watch begins with a subject that captures John’s imagination.
From there, the theme shapes everything: the dial, color, typography, and details you notice only after living with the watch. Nothing is added simply to fill space. Every choice brings the original idea into sharper focus.
The result is a watch with a world of its own.
BEYOND THE FAMILIAR.
The Field Watch Collection introduces the visual language of Watchmaker Velarde through iconic New Mexico imagery and dependable everyday design.
This Collectors Series takes that language somewhere new.
These releases give John the freedom to experiment, dig deeper, and create watches that could only exist around one particular idea.
Some will feel immediately familiar. Others may surprise you.
That is the point.
WHAT MOVES IT MATTERS.
A Collectors Series watch is considered beyond the dial.
Each release features a Swiss movement selected to match the watch and the experience John wants it to deliver.
Movement and specifications vary by release, allowing every design to stand on its own.
