A Watch With A Story

The Dream from 2019

One of the fun things when designing a new watch is pulling from brand history of the past to bring it to the present.


Easter Egg #1: Compass Red

Back in 2019, our dream was to someday offer a mechanical tachymeter watch. We wanted something as nice as a Tag Carrera that looked like it was as special.

That dream was where Compass came from.

During the design process, it took three weeks to settle on the right red color for the Compass's second hand. There were a lot of mock ups trying out different shades of red whether they were too bright, too pink, too dark, not red enough, etc.

It's funny to look back on but in 2019 we were in the beginning of learning these simpler things.

On Heritage Racer, the red on the second hand is a call-back to the red we decided on for Compass.

Easter Egg #2: Gun Metal Watch Case
This dates back to our beginning in 2018, when the second watch ever released, the Voyager, had a nice gun metal case. It carried over to the second generation of Legacy (on sale now) and is now found on Heritage Racer.

Since 2018, we've learned to use DLC for the coating instead of PVD to create a high scratch resistance case.



Easter Egg #3: 12 O'Clock Marker

This one is more recent with it first debuting on our Voyager GMT model. The idea came from seeing other brands have the number markers at 12/9/6 and us wanting to do something a little different.

Why not keep the mid-point of the 24 hour scale?

Easter Egg #4: Double-Pass Strap Style
Back in 2019 with Compass, our very first NATO band was a double sided black NATO with a strong Red center stripe. When those sold out, they were replaced with the Secret Agent straps of today.

Heritage Racer uses a similar design as that original strap for its included NATO band.



Easter Egg #5: Custom Watch Box

The watch box that Heritage Racer comes in is just the second fully-custom made box for La Touraine.

The first?
Voyager 1893 Collection from 2020.

Heritage Racer is special enough to deserve its own unique box not shared with our other watch models and we brought that back for this watch.

Why La Touraine?

At La Touraine, our watches embody our passion for quality and commitment to lasting value. Each timepiece is crafted to impress for years.

I was amazed by the presentation , box, 3 straps, with that black with white strap Nato you should talk to Max to get one of his double loop natos , so you can show people the back of the watch, quite brilliant of him.
The bracelet (leather ) for the basic watch is firm comfortable great.and the dial, wow, I bought 2 Baltic tricompax last year and they dont remotely compare to what you have created. I hope you do really well with this. I was quite impressed

Thank you

Best racing watch out there right now.

Insane watch for the price. I have owned watches that cost five times as much and don't even compare. You not only get a killer piece, you get 4 straps with it. First watch I've ever bought where my first thought wasn't, "what's next?"
Kudos. Amazing watch.

Voyager GMT

I'm not a big fan of GMT. But this is by far my favorite. It's the only automatic GMT I have also. It's run amazing and wear amazing. It's a really good price for what you get. If you are looking for a GMT then this is for you.

Atlas Midnight

First off, the customer service at La Touraine is great. I ordered the Atlas in black, and I couldnt be happier. It looks so great and goes with everything. I get compliments all the time, and people ask where I got the watch a lot. Only problem I have now, is which watch to get next! Cant recommend this company to more people!
