NORTH.er

GMT

Wrist compasses were developed for the military for ages, but they didn't tell the time. These relics of American history inspired Towson's watchmakers to create the NORTH.er. An instrument assisting one's directional & timekeeping needs with seasonal accuracy, clear readability & lifelong durability. Powered by an automatic GMT Swiss caliber assembled & decorated in-house. Ref. NP250 Limited Edition "NORTH.er" can be purchased below or at select retailers.

Designed by Hartwig Balke in collaboration with Patrick Ayoub from Detroit Watch Company. First released in 2019 with a total limited production of 250 timepieces. Retired once sold out.

Having followed the Martin M-130, the NORTH.er delivers the same unique pilot design to a GMT instrument. The military-style palette based on navigational instruments from the 1930’s was effectively repurposed to emphasize the capability of this timepiece to serve as a compass.
