A True GMT. Individually Regulated.
A familiar movement. An entirely different execution.
At the heart of the Cartographer is the Miyota 9075, a true traveler’s GMT automatic movement.
Unlike an office-style GMT, the 9075 allows you to independently adjust your local hour hand in one-hour increments without stopping the watch or disturbing the minute hand.
Travel across time zones, adjust your local time, and keep your home time displayed with the dedicated GMT hand and 24-hour scale.
It’s a genuinely useful complication, whether you’re crossing the Atlantic or simply keeping track of someone a few time zones away.
But we don’t stop at choosing the right movement.
Every Cartographer GMT movement is individually regulated for improved timekeeping accuracy.
Rather than simply installing the movement as supplied, we take the additional step of adjusting its rate. It’s an extra investment in the watch, and one we believe matters.
The Miyota 9075 is an excellent foundation.
What we build around it is what makes the Cartographer a La Touraine.
Designed to Be Different.
Art Nouveau-inspired architecture. Unmistakably La Touraine.
The Cartographer takes the distinctive open-lug architecture first introduced with our Oltre and evolves it into something more expressive.
Its sculptural stainless steel case features elongated, skeletonized lugs that flow around a recessed central case.
A sweeping character line connects the upper and lower lugs, creating a continuous profile inspired by the fluid, organic forms of Art Nouveau design.
It’s a shape that changes depending on how you look at it.
From above, the open lugs frame the dial with a distinctive architectural presence.
From the side, the recessed case and flowing contours reveal depth and movement that conventional watch cases rarely attempt.
The interplay between brushed and polished surfaces further emphasizes the case’s sculptural geometry, highlighting its curves and transitions as the light changes.
These aren’t decorative elements attached to an otherwise standard watch.
The architecture is the design.
It’s an unmistakably La Touraine silhouette, created to stand apart without relying on oversized dimensions.
Engineered for Everyday Wear.
Distinctive architecture. Exceptional surface hardness.
A watch designed to be worn deserves protection that goes beyond conventional stainless steel.
That’s why the Cartographer’s entire 316L stainless steel case, bracelet, and clasp receive a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, specified to achieve approximately 1,200 HV on the Vickers hardness scale.
This specialized coating is designed to provide enhanced resistance to everyday scratches and surface wear, helping protect not only the sculptural contours of our Art Nouveau-inspired case, but also the bracelet and clasp—two of the areas most exposed to daily contact.
Compared with uncoated stainless steel, the hardened surface offers an additional layer of protection against the marks associated with everyday wear.
It’s an additional manufacturing step, and one that reflects our belief that thoughtful design should be matched by equally thoughtful engineering.
From the case to the clasp, durability is part of the Cartographer’s design.
Because a watch this distinctive should be worn, not hidden away.
A Dial That Tells Our Story.
A journey across the Atlantic. A connection across generations.
The Cartographer’s dial isn’t decorated with an arbitrary map.
Its bathymetric texture draws from the Atlantic Ocean journey of the SS La Touraine, the ocean liner that brought my great-grandparents to the United States and ultimately inspired the name of our watch company.
Bathymetric maps reveal the contours and depths of the ocean floor—an extraordinary landscape hidden beneath the surface.
We’ve brought that topography to the center of the Cartographer’s dial, transforming a piece of our family history into something you can carry on your wrist.
The design captures the character of the Atlantic seabed along that historic crossing, connecting the Cartographer’s spirit of exploration to the journey that ultimately became part of our own story.
Surrounding the textured center is an integrated 24-hour GMT scale, bringing practical function to the design.
The distinctive orange GMT hand provides an immediate point of contrast, while applied hour markers and polished hands catch the light from different angles.
Thoughtful details, including color-matched date wheels, help maintain the visual harmony of each dial.
It’s more than a decorative dial. It’s the story of where we came from, built into the watch itself.
Four Colors. Four Perspectives.
The Cartographer launches in four carefully selected dial colors, each bringing a different personality to the same architecture.
Aegean Blue
A rich, ocean-inspired blue that highlights the dial’s bathymetric contours and creates a striking contrast against polished stainless steel.
Sahara Champagne
A warm, understated champagne tone that emphasizes the Cartographer’s classical influences and Art Nouveau-inspired design.
Sicilian Pistachio
A distinctive, softly muted green that gives the Cartographer a more relaxed, expressive character.
Icelandic Obsidian
A deep black dial that emphasizes the architectural case design, silver indices, and vivid orange GMT hand.
Each colorway features its own color-matched date wheel and coordinating Italian suede strap.
Four distinctive interpretations.
One collection. Just 90 watches total.
Built to Be Worn.
Expressive design. Everyday proportions.
The Cartographer’s sculptural case makes a statement without demanding an oversized wrist.
At 39mm in diameter, 46.5mm lug-to-lug, and just 11.8mm thick, its proportions balance the architectural presence of the open lugs with everyday wearability.
The case is crafted from DLC-protected 316L stainless steel, combining distinctive brushed and polished finishing with enhanced surface hardness.
An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a screw-down crown and 100 meters of water resistance provide practical versatility.
And when the light fades, Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 applied across the hour indices and hands provides a distinctive cool blue glow for low-light readability.
The luminous markers and hands complement the Cartographer’s design without compromising the refined aesthetic of its dial.
Beautiful under the right lighting.
Functional when the lighting isn’t.
Two Distinct Looks. Both Included.
The Cartographer is designed to be worn, not kept in a box.
That’s why every watch includes two ways to enjoy it.
316L Stainless Steel Bracelet
The bracelet complements the flowing steel case, giving the Cartographer a more architectural, contemporary presence.
Like the case itself, the bracelet and clasp receive our DLC coating, providing enhanced surface hardness throughout the watch’s stainless steel exterior.
A milled clasp with on-the-fly micro-adjustment allows you to fine-tune the fit throughout the day without tools.
Italian Suede Stitched Leather Strap
For a softer, more relaxed look, each Cartographer also includes an Italian suede leather strap with contrasting stitching.
Its rich texture complements the bathymetric dial and creates a striking contrast with the sculptural stainless steel case.
Each strap is selected to complement its corresponding dial color, creating a cohesive and distinctive appearance.
Quick-release spring bars make switching between the two straightforward.
There is no upgrade charge.
No need to choose between bracelet and leather.
Both are included with every Cartographer GMT.
Something Worth Turning Over.
A custom rotor. An exhibition caseback. The mechanical heart of the Cartographer.
Turn the Cartographer over and you’ll find an exhibition caseback revealing the individually regulated Miyota 9075 true GMT automatic movement within.
A customized La Touraine rotor features our branding and a topographic-inspired design that carries the Cartographer’s identity through to the back of the watch.
The rotor moves naturally with your wrist, winding the automatic movement while offering a view of the mechanical architecture beneath.
It’s a detail that connects the mechanical heart of the watch to the design language of its exterior.
From its open-lug case architecture to its textured dial and custom rotor, the Cartographer has been designed as a cohesive timepiece.
Not simply a collection of components, but a watch with a consistent identity from every angle.
Every side of the watch tells part of its story.
A Presentation Worthy of What’s Inside.
Because the experience should match the watch.
We believe a premium timepiece deserves more than an ordinary cardboard or plastic presentation case.
That’s why every Cartographer GMT arrives in a premium wooden presentation box with a leather-lined interior.
The natural character of wood and the refined texture of leather create a presentation that complements the craftsmanship and design of the watch itself.
It’s a deliberate departure from disposable packaging and generic watch holders.
From the moment you open the box, the Cartographer should feel like something special.
And when the watch isn’t on your wrist, its presentation box provides a fitting place to keep it.
We put too much thought into the case architecture, movement, dial, and finishing to treat the final presentation as an afterthought.
A premium watch deserves a premium presentation. Both are included.
