Watches from About Vintage
About Vintage is a Danish brand, based in Copenhagen. With their design the two founders try to combine timeless design with classic elements from the history of the watch. Being Danish, they also have their roots in Scandinavian minimalism.
The first thoughts about ”About Vintage” started 2013, on a beach in the Caribbean – where they dared to dream big: creating watches that are as relevant today and tomorrow... as they were yesterday... and that vision still stands. About Vintage wants to make simple but extraordinare watches for and . In their name, vintage is refering to the small moments and experiences that people may encounter when their world view changes.
The watches are designed and named after important years in the history of watches: The Chronograph collectionen from About Vintage is divided into three years. 1815 was the year when the chronograph technique was invented. 1821 was the year when the first commercial chronograph was created, because the French king (Louis XVIII the Desired) wanted to take time on the horse tracks. 1844 it became possible to reset the timer, which enabled the function of measuring time, time after time... and the chronograph as we know it, started to take shape.
In 1820 a patent was granted for the first self-winding watch; and we know it today... as the automatic clockwork. So About Vintages automatic collection is named after that year: 1820, when Thomas Prest got his patent.
The first quartz clockwork was released 1969, and because it was much cheaper to produce (compared to automatic ones), it made it more available for more people. It also enabled the possibility to make the watches smaller, and that is why this collection has cases between 36 and 39 mm.
