Dunhill Centenary 'Hunter Caseback' LE

In 1893, Alfred Dunhill transformed his father’s saddlery into a luxury empire with the needs of sporting gentlemen at its heart. But rather than horses and carriages, it was automobiles—and their drivers—that Dunhill was outfitting. Horns and clocks for the cars (particularly for Rolls-Royce), and overcoats, goggles, and watches for the drivers—“Dunhill’s Motorities” sold it all, from two boutiques in Mayfair (one for men, the other for ladies) or from Dunhill’s catalog. Over 1300 items were listed in the catalog, giving rise to the tagline: “Everything for the car but the motor.” Dunhill’s empire expanded along with the British Empire, seeing outposts (referred to by the company as “homes”) springing up in all corners of the globe. Their range of products grew to encompass a full line of men’s ready-to-wear clothing, though never straying far from the core products that Alfred Dunhill offered in his catalog in the 1890s—watches among them. This watch is one of the coolest we've gotten in recently--- and that's saying something. Flaunting an awesome cushion case that's oh so vintage, this watch is outfitted with a classic railroad dial, subsidiary seconds, Breguet hands, and thick stylized printed numerals. To suit the already awesome case, this piece is completed with a hunter caseback. If you're a lover of vintage design it's hard to find something that beats this incredible piece. It's truly unlike anything else out there, and it's limited to 200 pieces!
