What makes the Saltire Collection so special?
Flag of a Nation
The Saltire
01.
Created with passion for Scotland
The flag of Scotland, also known as the Saltire, is represented by a St. Andrew’s Cross, passing over a blue field. We designed the Saltire collection with the intention to have a subtle representation of a Saltire across the watch face.

Finely Detailed Hand Painted Dials
We hand-paint over enamel and aventurine (respectively) to create the St. Andrew's cross effect. The Saltire cross is "hidden in plain sight", whereby it is only when looking very closely at the dial, that the Saltire subtly presents itself. For the Northern Lights variation, we take it one step further and paint the effect of an Arora Borealis over the Saltire cross.

Iconic Thistle-Shaped Bezel
Zero-Hour Marker
The Saltire Collection was designed in an effort to seamlessly integrate Scottish themes into a tidy design. This includes some nods of appreciation to the history of Scotland and our culture.
05.
Practice Chanter Second Hand
We based the Second Hand design on the shape of a Practice Chanter, which is used by pipers to practice tunes when learning to play the bagpipes.
Three variations
A continuum of light and time

Scotland’s summer can be short and often falls on as little as a weekend. The Saltire Day dial brightens up a day, whatever the season. The dial features:

Bright, sky blue enamel
-
Hand-painted ethereal cloud-like Saltire Cross

Navy blue aventurine
