Just launched on Kickstarter, the Parkdale Automatic is the first timepiece designed and manufactured by Langdon Watches. The Parkdale Automatic is a beautiful casual/dress watch that features a Miyota automatic movement, 41mm stainless steel case, and genuine leather strap. It is as affordable as it beautiful, pre-order pricing starts at just $129 USD OR $180 CAD.
Sexy curves with beautiful finishing, this watch is best described as neo-vintage. The Parkdale effortlessly infuses dress and sport, with a design that is refined and restrained, respectable and lacking pretension. It’s a design that is born to be a classic, timeless piece.
The dial design of the Parkdale can be described as simple, but it’s far from boring. Here the combination of baton-style indexes, and the location of the seconds track on the outer edge of the dial, gives a more spacious visual impression. The concave seconds sub-dial sits at the 6 o’clock position and has a mini dauphine style hand that matches the gorgeous hour and minute hands. The classic minimalist style goes even a step further by removing the often debated date window – leaving only a gorgeous, uncluttered dial.
The watch case is both playful and chic. The design screams classic 20th century, with its cylindrical body and tapering lugs that protrude out. Polished throughout, it is elegant in profile, with a prominent rounded bezel. The case design has an elegantly slim profile, thanks to the flatness of the crystal. At only 11 millimeters tall, the Parkdale is perfectly proportioned with 41mm in overall diameter, a lug to lug of 48mm, and a weight that still conveys a feeling of quality while on the wrist.
Powering the Parkdale is a Miyota 82S5. This 21 jewel, 21.6k bph automatic is a true no-date movement, so you won’t be fumbling with a phantom crown position.
At only $129USD, Langdon’s philosophy is simple: “Great Watches for Great prices,” and the Parkdale lives up to this motto.
