The unique Icon Duesey Watch is designed by a collector

The Icon Duesey Watch is a watch designed not by the brand’s professionals but by a collector himself. Created by Jonathan Ward of Los Angeles-based ICON4x4, who restores vintage vehicles and that’s why the watch is also base on a vintage vehicle: the Duesenberg. Stylish and minimalist, the watch comes in a 42mm case made from a combination of Grade 2 & Grade 5 titanium with a polished onyx stone face that houses two brass rimmed windows rather than traditional hands.  The top window features the hour on a jump movement and the lower window scrolls the minutes under a domed sapphire crystal. The futuristically attractive, limited edition watch comes with an Italian made “rolled edge” matte alligator strap, and it’s powered by a Dubois-Depraz automatic 14400 module with an ETA 2892-A2 top base featuring a customized tungsten oscillating weight with a 2-day power reserve. Only 50 pieces of the watch will be created, priced at $11,500 each and numbered on the case back where another crystal shows the movement underneath the ICON lizard logo.
