Devon Works combines cutting-edge engineering with bold design to create watches that are both functional and eye-catching.
The Devon Tread 1, is a masterpiece, one of its kind beast of a watch! The design, the dial, the shape, the size, the belt, everything is completely different from any traditional watch-making practice! It’s Horology completely re-imagined!
The working is entirely different too! Most of its parts are made by aerospace parts suppliers. The Tread 1 watch has an onboard microprocessor that is essentially a small computer inside that runs everything. It uses data from a special crystal and a unique system to keep track of the watch's moving parts. This helps the watch stay very precise, with an accuracy of just half a second per day.
It gets its power from a strong lithium-polymer battery that lasts up to two weeks on a single charge. When it needs to be recharged, it does so wirelessly through a charging tower and takes just a few hours.
Then there comes the Devon Tread 2! which continues to work on the principles of Devon Tread 1 and keeps with DEVON's tradition by showing time through its unique Time Belts system. Hours are shown on a horizontal belt, while minutes are displayed on a vertical belt, but this is a new case and design! The Tread 2 is just as, if not more impressive than its predecessor! the design is similar to the iconic Richard Mille, but it now comes with a chronograph complication that can be activated by a push button!
