The Carpenter Watches Field Watch ($595) is a beautifully crafted timepiece that embodies the perfect marriage of traditional heritage and modern elegance. Available for immediate shipment and limited to just 200 pieces, this field watch is designed for those who appreciate the finer details and the art of horology. Drawing inspiration from founder Neil Carpenter’s lifelong passion for timepieces, the Field Watch offers a connection to the past while embracing the sophistication of contemporary design.
Neil Carpenter, the creative mind behind Carpenter Watches, has always had an appreciation for the intricacies of timepieces, beginning at a young age with his family’s collection of antique pocket watches. With a background in industrial and furniture design from the prestigious Savannah College of Art & Design, Neil has honed his ability to create objects that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Carpenter Watches represents the culmination of his journey—a venture that combines his design training with his lifelong interest in horology.
The Carpenter Watches Field Watch is a testament to Neil’s dedication to craftsmanship. It features a 40mm 316L stainless steel case with a sapphire exhibition back, allowing a glimpse into the beating heart of the watch—a Miyota 821A 21-jewel automatic movement. This reliable movement also includes hacking functionality, making time-setting precise and straightforward. The double-domed sapphire crystal on the front further enhances durability while providing excellent clarity.
With its matte black dial and C3 lume, the Field Watch ensures legibility in both daylight and low-light conditions. The classic design, with its simple and elegant markings, evokes a sense of nostalgia for the vintage pocket watches that first captivated Neil Carpenter. The addition of a date complication brings a practical modern touch to this timeless piece. The genuine tapered leather strap is another nod to craftsmanship, offering comfort and sophistication while providing versatility for a range of occasions—from everyday wear to more formal settings.
The Carpenter Watches Field Watch is built with a 5 BAR (50 meters) water resistance rating, meaning it can handle splashes and everyday encounters with water, making it both practical and stylish. The design of the Field Watch is thoughtfully executed, with an emphasis on quality materials and attention to detail that sets it apart from the rest.
This field watch is not just a timepiece; it’s a story waiting to be told. Each of the limited 200 pieces is crafted with the hope that it will become a cherished heirloom, much like Neil’s own family’s collection. Whether you’re a seasoned watch enthusiast or someone looking to start a new tradition, the Carpenter Watches Field Watch offers a connection to the past while standing firmly in the present—a watch that will be treasured for generations to come.
