Briston is an independent French watch brand that blends refined watchmaking with a relaxed, sporty-chic spirit. Briston channels a distinctly British-inspired aesthetic—casual yet elegant, playful yet precise. Marrying French design flair with genuine horological credibility, Briston creates accessible, expressive timepieces for those who value individuality, craftsmanship, and a touch of irreverent charm.

 

Its designs evoke the atmosphere of Oxford campuses, polo fields, and rowing regattas, offering a balance of sophistication and approachability that sets it apart from traditional luxury watchmakers.
 

Briston’s signature lies in its creative use of materials and shapes—most notably the tortoiseshell acetate cases of its iconic Clubmaster line or its newest Streamliner square shape case. Each collection reflects a thoughtful evolution of style and function.

From the very beginning, the brand set out to combine artisanal quality with an intentionally stylish, slightly offbeat attitude — underpinned by a founder who amassed 15 years’ experience at major houses (such as Cartier, Zenith and others) before launching this personal creative endeavour.

Tsar Bomba is just cool, y’all. When we saw these in person, we were blown away. The patented interchangeability technology isn’t just extremely functional (yes, it’s like having seven watches in one), but the locking mechanisms and colorway options make this timepiece a truly customizable wonder. They use boundary-pushing materials (Meteorite, Carbon Fiber, Ceramic, and more) at extremely reasonable price points. That makes this watch the perfect gift or starter piece for someone looking for something affordable with a sporty edge (and oh, the quality is insanely good).
 

Are you obsessed with functional design and quality in the watch world? Are you an indecisive collector who loves the idea of swapping straps, bezels, and even the crown based on your outfit or mood? Cool. This watch is for you. The possibilities are endless. We’re hyped about it. You will be too, as soon as you get one on your wrist.

EXAEQUO_Logo_2024_comp_white.png

Exaequo brings surrealism back to life with its iconic melting watches, inspired by dreamlike aesthetics and the concept of fluid, unconventional time. From the Latin for “equal merit,” Exaequo balances traditional watchmaking, innovation, and art. Founded in the 1990s, the brand quickly gained acclaim, worn by icons like Paul McCartney, Jim Carrey, and Jerry Lewis. Its celebrated Softwatch, created in homage to Salvador Dalí’s world-famous melting clock, became a surrealist symbol of creative expression.
 

Reintroduced in Spring 2024, Exaequo honors its 1990s roots with bold, vintage-inspired designs and a modern reinterpretation true to Dalí’s spirit. Praised by The New York Times, GQ, Bazaar, Esquire, and leading fashion voices, and now distributed in 38 markets worldwide, Exaequo seamlessly merges cultural heritage with commercial success—remaining both a timeless collector’s piece and a compelling retail opportunity.

Median Price Range: $700 - $2,800

In CHP Caliber's words

Oh man...being that our founder has a Salvador Dali tattoo on her back, CHP Caliber immediately fell in love with Exaequo at first sight. Listen...While it's on our grail list to own a Cartier Crash, that million-dollar price point seems entirely out of reach to some... But don't be fooled or think this is just a budget-friendly alternative; Exaequo has been around since the 90's. They've completely forged their own path in creating a stunning, mind-bending, eye-catching melting watch that have been spotted on celebrities, art-lovers, and folks that are infatuated with the surreal. These top of the line, carefully crafted melting watches inspire a whimsy and humor, but the craftsmenship that is taken with these Swiss Designed watches are taken very seriously. Mark our words, Exaequo will be everywhere. Very soon. 

 

Exaequo, Be Surreal. Be Bold. Wear your Weird.
EMBRACE UNIQUENESS.
