A Briston watch stands out for its fundamentally watchmaking DNA and its sporty-chic spirit. This is the "British" spirit that the English have mastered to perfection, from the Oxford campuses to the polo fields and rowing races. It's a style that's chic, casual and quirky, and was quickly adopted in the United States from the 1950s onwards. This sportswear style, also known as "preppy", appealed to Ivy League students, starting with the most famous of them all, the iconic John F. Kennedy, and went on to become the success of brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Gant and Brooks Brothers...

This sports-chic spirit is embodied in the shapes, colours and materials of Briston's first collection. The Clubmaster breaks new ground with its tortoiseshell acetate case, previously used only in eyewear. A noble, natural material that gives Briston watches a distinctive look.
