Techné watches draw inspiration from the military and from aviation, but you definitely don’t need to pilot an aircraft or spend time on a battlefield to wear one of their eye-catching timepieces. Their Merlin Field Watch and their Harrier Self-Winding Pilot’s Watch are both inspired by timepieces of yesteryear, and they’re designed with reliable accuracy (the Field Watch keeps time within four minutes per year) and bold features. Best of all, they’re quality watches without the crazy price tag. Check out the collection in the Cool Material Shop.
