An Introduction to Towson’s NORTH.er | GMT Wrist Compass

This classically crafted, self winding timepiece was designed with rough weather conditions, sports-oriented, and outdoor people in mind. The satin-finish, stainless steel case was engineered to meet the needs of outdoor activities as well as everyday business or elegant festivities. From an inspiration to a timepiece that is able to assist hikers and outdoor people to find North when they need it. The Towson Watch Company dedicated this timepiece to all outdoor lovers and people traveling the world.
When Hartwig Balke first visited the Martin M-130 museum and saw those cockpit instruments that rested inside the aircraft, he realized that a “GMT wrist compass” would eventually find its way into his TWC Collections.
He had collected military wrist compasses for years, but none of them told the time. Many of which, however, shared the same design language as the aircraft instruments in the M-130 China Clipper. This inspired him to create the NORTH.er. A GMT wrist compass.
With the 12 hour and 24 hour hands in the same time zone, one can direct the yellow hour hand to the sun, so that the green 24 hour hand points north. Master watchmaking at its finest.
