For years, Dietrich has been making design forward, modern watches that are really unlike anything else on the market. Zach Weiss reviewed the OT-1 back in 2015, which seems like a lifetime ago, and that design, even today, seems to look to the future far more than the past.

The latest edition of the Time Companion, the TC-Pure, is an extremely limited stripped down take on the watch that I think is likely to entice new Dietrich collectors veterans of the brand alike.
