Watches, Stories, and Gear: Kesaharu Imai’s Time Capsule, an Octogenarian Watchmaker, and More
?Watches, Stories, and Gear? is a weekly roundup of some of our favorite watch content, great stories from around the web, and cool gear that we?ve got our eye on.
This week?s installment is brought to you by Melbourne Watch Company and their new Avalon Mk.2.
Founded in 2013, Melbourne is a brand that many Worn & Wound readers are likely familiar with. With a focus on producing pieces that are accessible to both watch enthusiasts and casual collectors, Melbourne?s watches combine a classic aesthetic with contemporary design elements.
With the Avalon Mk.2, Melbourne is refreshing a line originally released in 2015. A scaled-down version of the original Avalon model, the Mk.2 is a return to Melbourne?s more reserved style with a reduced case size of 42 millimeters and bead blasted case finishing. Meanwhile, the case of the Avalon Mk.2 retains the angular design and stamped dial of the original. Powered by a Sellita SW200 automatic movement, the Mk.2 also features a domed sapphire with AR coating over the dial, display case back, and date aperture at six o?clock. Each Avalon Mk.2 is assembled in Melbourne?s Australian headquarters. Released just earlier this month, the Mk.2 is available for purchase now with a price of $850 AUD ($615 USD).
