IN THE NEWS: Les Rhabilleurs Covers the Atwood

Oak & Oscar is truly a global company. As we like to say, we have Owners on every continent except the cold one! 😉 

Watch writer, Vincent Deschamps, a friend of the brand and founder of the Mainspring watch blog, recently covered the Atwood for French lifestyle magazine, Les Rhabilleurs. 

Vincent is especially impressed with the proportions of the watch. “Not all mechanical chronographs are built and designed equally. Some are too large to be elegant, and others look too complex to be truly practical. Upon first inspection of the Oak & Oscar, I was immediately and positively surprised by how well it sat on my 16.5cm wrist…the Atwood is comfortable to wear and has a very neat shape.” (That’s about 6.5in for those of us on this side of the pond.) 

Oak & Oscar’s unique design language also gets a callout. “The brand has its own aesthetic, at once minimalist and legible, airy and modern, favoring sandwich dial constructions to add depth to their watches, and contrasts between matte color ranges and some pops of bright color.” 

We strive for distinctive design with simplicity, balance, and legibility being hallmarks of our watches. So thanks for noticing!

Vincent concludes that “the Atwood is well-made and well-designed, offering a fresh take on a multifunctional tool watch.”
