Once in a lifetime project! Dennison was one the prestigious watch makers of the 18th century. Established in 1905, Dennison Warch Case Co produced over hundred cases designs for luxury brands Rolex and Tudor. It is one the most famous watch brands of Britain and piviotal to the watch making history.
Recently, we were asked to help revive the brand launch by producing the first watch by Dennison since 1967! We helped product design and manufacture the case using 3D printing technology and low volume manufacture.
These limited edition watches were all designed in Birmingham, only 3 miles away from the original Soho factory and made in England. Two of the original Dennison machines were used during the manufacturing process of these cases.
Dennison Revival watches are inspired by the Dennison Aquatite cased expeditionary watches from the 1950s. With heritage and style, they are designed as “field watches” with a purpose of exploring the world’s toughest and most remote terrains. Remaining true to the brand’s tradition, Dennison cases are made in England using some of the same machines from the original factory, housing robust Swiss-made movements, assembled and tested in England.
