Historically Inspired Wristwatches

These TMPL Timepieces Pay Homage to the Original Wristwatches

These TMPL timepieces have been designed by the brand as a way to stylishly pay homage to the original wristwatches that first entered the market around 100 years ago. The watches are part of the 1910 Collection, which includes exquisitely designed timepieces that all have a distinct level of elegance to convey a truly timeless level of style. Each one is made in the Nagano Prefecture in Japan with manufacturers who have a long history of creating and servicing premium timepieces.

The TMPL timepieces are the design work of Kazuhiko Hayakawa of CEKAI and, while stylish, still maintain a low-cost price point that is accessible enough for any history or timepiece aficionado to choose as their next purchase.
