Novum - Beautiful Simplicity

A British handmade watch to wear every day.

If you prefer a classic, slightly smaller, watch than many that are available today, you are not alone. The Novum might be just right for you.

Many men, and quite a few ladies, are very comfortable with its 36mm diameter, and we at Harold Pinchbeck have always found a steady and loyal demand for this size.

This latest Pinchbeck watch, the Novum, is a fresh perspective on a former favourite. Practical for daily use, it’s smart enough for special occasions, and beautiful in its simplicity.

This lovely timepiece has a beautifully finished 316L stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal for scratch resistance and a clear (exhibition) caseback to reveal the fine Swiss movement, the ETA 2824-2, which is kept wound by the natural movement of your wrist. Its 3ATM water resistance is enhanced by a screwdown winding crown, and the leather strap is handcrafted in Devon by Tanner Bates.

Assembled to order in our English workshop, the Novum can be on your wrist within a few weeks. It will be worth the short wait!
