When you spend a decent amount of your well-earned money on a nice timepiece, you want it to be one that gets noticed. Los Angeles based Refined Hardware has set out to make beautiful and unique watches that will get noticed for their design, craftsmanship, and luxurious appeal. Their Harbinger Edition is made-to-order and crafted from raw steel, aerospace titanium, and set on a handmade black American alligator strap. The ode to precision engineering is extremely limited (only 125 pieces will be made) and and each is built and dated by its own craftsman, from start to finish. The Harbinger Edition features a patent-pending cage case, adjusted and blueprinted mechanical 17 jewel 2 day power reserve movement, and enough style to turn just about every head.
