What is it about vintage watches that gets our hearts racing?

It’s the quaint aesthetic, beautiful patina, and the history they represents that tugs at our heartstrings time and time again. And if we can betray our romanticism for a moment, it’s the untold stories imbued into each and every mark, scuff and scratch that give a timepiece that undeniable charm we so desperately love.

This Lagonda Esthetic has all of these features.

Founded in 1946, Lagonda traces its humble beginnings to the beautiful coastal city of Gothenburg, Sweden and largely remained within the Swedish market until the 1970s before disappearing into the horological history books.

Dating to the 1960s, this piece features a 35mm stainless steel case and a fabulous, black-silver ‘tuxedo’ dial with tritium indices, a coin-edge hour track, a matching luminous ‘obelisk’ handset, and a constant-seconds subsidiary register at 6 o’clock. Powered by a hand-wound Schild Calibre 130 movement, it's appropriately outfitted  with an Analog:Shift Black Widow Alligator-Pattern leather strap with a matching steel pin buckle.

It’s not the Lagonda of Aston Martin lore, but it sure is an amazing vintage find given its outstanding condition and fantastic aesthetic. Try it on for size!
