The American Master Watchmaker

High-level services:

When not working on his own bespoke projects, Don services incredible watches, ranging from minute repeaters to chronographs. He also restores intricate timepieces that require special attention, recreating parts from scratch to make identical versions of the original components.

Gentlemen's Dress Chronograph

DRESS CHRONOGRAPH

Brand: DLoke

Dress Chronographs:

The first DLoke watch model is a chronograph dress watch—an idea Don Loke stored in the back of his mind for decades—where the chronograph pushers are integrated into the case.

Inside the 5 ATM water-resistant titanium case is a dial with asymmetric sub-dials and ornately cut center hands resembling blades.

The rich blue details on the dial change color depending on the light, and there’s a crown at 9 o’clock to rotate the inner elapsed time bezel.

The limited edition D Loke dress chronographs run on chronometer-rated Quality #1 Concepto calibers, a hybrid Swiss movement based on the ETA Valjoux 7750.
