Presenting the Classic One

The newest addition to the Havid Nagan model line and an entirely new design, I am privileged to introduce the Classic One! A 38mm chronometer developed in partnership with my new manufacturing partners in La Chaux de Fonds.

The Classic One was, among many things, an exercise in understanding where Havid Nagan would and should go. The watch is a medium for the brand in many ways – it introduces the debut of a new model line, an entirely new case design, and my partnership with a new manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds! The watch’s aesthetic is inspired by the neo-vintage era of design, with characteristic cues from the decades it spans. The case has been artistically crafted and designed with unique lugs and has been sized classically. The dial’s construction is the most complicated yet for Havid Nagan; it's multilayered, dynamic nature was a headache for Cadranor to execute! The movement’s decorative execution is inspired by a pocket watch built by the late great Derek Pratt in 1997. The watch’s raison d'être is to serve as an emblem of adaptability in my expression of the perfect watch.

I invite you to discover the watch here. Orders open Friday, February 21st 6AM PST with deliveries beginning in October 2025. We’ll be accepting payments via wire transfer or a Square credit card link.
