BRAND HISTORY

Dunhill is a familiar British brand, loved by gentlemen worldwide for its many items such as leather goods, pens, cufflinks, and menswear. The company originally produced accessories and clothing for car drivers, and its first watch was a "dashboard clock."

Dunhill produced its first wristwatch in 1936 and has actively developed its watch collection. In '93, as part of the "Centenary Series" commemorating its 100th anniversary, it revived the masterpiece "Facet Watch" announced in '36. In '99, it created the limited edition "Longitude" to commemorate the millennium, continuing to release key watch collections at important junctures.

From 2004, Dunhill made a witty and groundbreaking choice by appointing Tom Bolt, who presides over the popular antique watch dealer website "Watch Guru," as its watch designer. In addition to popular existing models, many distinctive watches were added, revealing Dunhill's new charm, such as the "Wheel Watch" and "Parody Stone."
