Today, we?ll be taking a look at the new Superfecta from Van Brauge, a brand that many of you are likely not too familiar with. Van Brauge is a relatively young, British company named after its founder and owner Max Van Brauge, a long-time watchmaker, engineer, and industry veteran. We were introduced to Van Brauge?s offerings last year, and we first played with the watches at Wind^Up (full disclosure: Van Brauge is a sponsor of this year?s upcoming show). That inaugural series?dubbed The Oxford?has a distinctly British flair, or rather, I should say it embodies what I have come to expect from more mainstream, contemporary British watchmaking. The watches are decidedly classic?pulling liberally from historical British watch design?though there?s enough of a contemporary bent that they ultimately feel and wear like modern pieces. And as far as overall finishing goes, Max?s industry experience shines through.Van Brauge?s second collection?The Superfecta?goes for a more vintage, sporty vibe, though I wouldn?t call it a sports watch. It?s a bit of a chameleon in that regard, which makes for a versatile piece. Where The Oxford featured textured dials and applied numerals, The Superfecta goes for a more casual look.
