BREMOIR's watch design inspired by the Chrysler Building- up for auction

Patrick Bremer founded BREMOIR because of a passion for Art Deco design and an admiration for the courage, creativity, and innovation of the period. The Streamline Moderne aesthetic resonates one hundred years later because it shares our modern appreciation of geometric shapes, tasteful colors, and simple yet sophisticated design.

BREMOIR’s debut wristwatch, The Lexington, is inspired by the Chrysler Building in New York City. This limited-edition timepiece is powered by a Swiss automatic movement, which is visible through an exhibition case. It comes alive in the evening thanks to the clever application of Swiss Super-Luminova, which is designed to mimic the building's illuminated spire at night. The watch is also water resistant to 50 meters / 165 feet. This particular model, The Tuxedo, features a deep black dial and leather strap, which allow the brushed, silver chapter ring to pop, and complement the elegant stainless-steel case.

While many watches with such direct inspiration attempt to do too much, the BREMOIR Lexington captures beautifully the essence not just of the Art Deco movement, but of the Chrysler Building itself, seamlessly incorporating the building’s most recognizable features. The result is a simply gorgeous dress watch.

Oscar Waldan, survived the Concentration Camps thanks to watchmaking

This feature is taken from Time and Tide Watches from their story on August 11, 2022 (Link here for entire article)

Waldan Watches have been known in watch industry for decades. But there’s a lesser-known history behind the Waldan name, one that touches on many remarkable moments in the history of the watch industry. So many, in fact, you might find it hard to believe, but such is the extraordinary legacy of Oscar Waldan. Let’s start at the beginning.

Oscar Waldan was born in Poland in the 1920s and showed an early interest in timepieces when he disassembled his father’s pocket watch. But this wasn’t the mindless destruction that children sometimes get up to – he actually made diagrams that showed how to fit the parts back together. Despite this auspicious start, his horological dreams were put on hold after the start of World War II and the German invasion of Poland. Waldan was imprisoned in the Buchenwald and Theresienstadt Nazi concentration camps.

Buchenwald Concentration Camp

Despite this terrible experience, fortune had plans for Oscar. By chance, he crossed paths with an imprisoned Czech watchmaker, who took on young Oscar as his apprentice. The watchmaker’s skill in repairing the guards’ watches no doubt aided in Oscar’s survival. Having lost nearly everything and everyone dear to him, he forged ahead with his watchmaking education, moving first to New York to work at a repair shop, then returning to Europe to further his studies in Switzerland and Germany.

 As his career took flight, Waldan was hired by Charles Tissot, where he tried his hand at designing watches, finding success with the well-received Tissot Navigator world-time watch. Following his stint at Tissot, Oscar became a successful sales executive in the US, but watch design was never far from his mind and the call of producing his own watch proved too great to resist.

In 1979, Waldan International was founded, with a factory in Bienne, Switzerland, and corporate offices with a repair center in New York. The new company concentrated its efforts on the high end, producing gorgeous complicated mechanical watches exclusively in precious metals, and flying in the face of the Quartz Crisis that was in the process of tearing down the Swiss watch industry. He took advantage of other makers’ wholesale liquidation of their movement stocks, snapping up calibers from Universal Geneve and others. His new watches would be designed around those classic movements, making the mechanical movement the selling point, despite the market climate of the time.

Oscar Waldan

Oscar learned that Zenith, then in turmoil after being bought out by the American Zenith Radio Corporation, was blowing up the company’s history, discontinuing basically all manufacture of mechanical watches. Originally, Oscar had planned to produce his own chronograph with some of Zenith’s stock, but fate stepped in when he discovered that Rolex was looking for a new movement for one of its most legendary references, the Daytona chronograph. Rolex wanted to modernize the line with an automatic movement. Enter Oscar Waldan.

In the years that followed, Oscar made a career as a private label maker of watches for the likes of Tiffany & Co., Ulysse Nardin, Cartier, Tourneau and Neiman Marcus.  For these client watches, he would mark the inside of casebacks with a hidden “Waldan Creations” hallmark as a sly inside joke, a hint of things to come. In 2000 Oscar finally began producing high-end mechanical watches under his own name. His limited editions are highly sought by collectors, and thankfully, Waldan Watches still offers limited quantities of these gorgeous models here.

Donated by Oscar’s son, Andrew, the 'Waldan International Retro Alarm' gold wristwatch is up for auction through Rago/Wright here.

Today, Andrew Waldan carries on the legacy of his father with the addition of the American-assembled Heritage Series, which features the USA-made Ameriquartz movement. Playing to a younger audience while offering plenty of heritage, it’s decidedly more casual than Oscar’s intricate creations, these everyday wear timepieces offer great quality for the price, and have plenty of classic design cues, including the “stepped” lugs that were a hallmark of many of his father’s beautiful cases.

It’s important to note that Andrew has stuck to his roots, by basing Waldan in New York, his father’s home for many years, and where he did some of his most accomplished work.   You can see his beautiful work here https://waldanwatches.com.

One of Oscar Waldan’s designs, Waldan International Retro Alarm gold wristwatch is up for auction benefiting the Brian LaViolette Foundation.  You can bid on this unique and history watch through Rago/Wright here.

This watch is a perfect representation of what every modern manufacturer aspires to, with a throwback design in a 40 x 44 mm case. The scarcer "Speed Timer" variant was only available to the Japanese domestic market. Made circa 1971, it is a tonneau style with rich colors, great lines, and an historic movement. The sub register adds great contrast, with a bright turquoise five-minute countdown and fifteen-minute divider. Atop the unpolished case is an inset and well-proportioned bezel that is finished with a glossy black inlay. The Speed Timer logo adds balance opposite the framed day/date (Kanji/English) window. An early variant, it is equipped with Seiko's first iteration of their premier automatic chronograph movement, the 6139A.

Oak & Oscar is honored to present a 1 of 1 piece in support of the Once Upon a Time Watch Project.

From Chase Fancher of Oak and Oscar…

“We opened our archives and created a one-of-a-kind prototype based off our retired Humboldt 12hr. The Humboldt LaViolette Edition is the first Humboldt to have a fixed, stainless-steel bezel, making for a classic and understated look. The steel bezel was hand-machined in our Chicago workshop by our Director of Watchmaking, Nathan Bobinchak.

The case back is engraved with Brian's wise words: "The journey is the reward." The Humboldt LaViolette Edition is presented with a waxed canvas watch wallet, multiple strap options, and a strap changing tool.

Our handmade, two-piece leather strap was made by a local craftsman using Chicago-based Horween Leather and tapers from 20 mm to 18 mm at the stainless steel buckle.

Brian- age 4 with his first watch- a Green Bay Packers watch

Inspired by the story of Brian’s very first watch which prominently featured his favorite NFL football team, we have included a secondary dark green and gold canvas strap.

The entire Oak & Oscar team is honored to help provide scholarships to so many deserving students in Brian’s memory.”

 

Owner Chase Fancher and his dog Oscar

The story of Oak & Oscar is one of guts, perseverance, and beauty. Chase Fancher left his corporate real estate job to start an independent watch brand in Chicago. Starting in 2015, their inaugural model, the Burnham, captured the hearts of watch-lovers all around the world. The brand has gone from strength to strength in recent years, releasing seventeen different watches in in the span of eight years.

Quality designs along with high-end finishing like a sandwich (double layer) dial and custom rotor leaves nothing to be desired. Oak & Oscar is the definition of old-school American quality paired with modern, forward-thinking design.
