Hand-Wound Watches

The Veli Watch by VAPAUS is Inspired by the Style of the 1950s

Watches are a timeless component of a man's wardrobe, and the Veli watch by VAPAUS is inspired by that notion. The beautifully crafted men's watches are hand-wound to bring the 1950s aesthetic to modern consumers. By creating a hand-wound watch the designers were able to make the watch thinner.

The Veli watch has two designs for the hands so that buyers can select the classic 1950s style that inspired the watch or pick the more modernized one. The watches have a high-arched sapphire crystal to make them incredibly unique in the era of modernized timepiece design. Consumers can choose from ice silver, space black, deep blue and slate gray when selecting the color of the sunburst dial. The watch is English designed by Swiss Made, which makes it elegant and well-made. The Veli will be a timeless addition to any watch lover's collection.
