Collection: Toledano & Chan Watches

About Toledano & Chan

Toledano & Chan is a highly distinctive independent watch brand founded by design duo Phil Toledano and Alfred Chan. The brand's aesthetic is heavily inspired by brutalist architecture, particularly Marcel Breuer’s iconic, asymmetrical window designs at the former Whitney Museum. Their timepieces feature unapologetically blocky, sculptural cases with sharply beveled edges and integrated bracelets that create a bold, industrial look. To complement these stark metallic forms, the brand uses markerless dial materials, utilizing materials ranging from semi-precious stones like lapis lazuli and meteorite to textured solid 18k gold. Toledano & Chan watches function as much as wearable, avant-garde art pieces as they do timekeepers

Toledano & Chan History

Toledano & Chan is a contemporary watch brand founded in 2024 by British-American conceptual artist and photographer Phil Toledano (widely known in collecting circles as "Mr Enthusiast") and Hong Kong-based designer Alfred Chan. The two bonded online over a shared passion for 1970s vintage timepieces and brutalist architecture, eventually deciding to channel these aesthetic influences into launching their own watch brand.

The brand’s debut timepiece, the B/1, launched in 2024 to immediate acclaim. Machined from 904L stainless steel and paired with an integrated bracelet, the first B/1 featured a stark, markerless lapis lazuli dial and was powered by a reliable Swiss Sellita SW100 automatic movement. It was quickly praised as a daring fusion of a sports watch and brutalist wearable art.

Following the immediate sell-out success of the B/1, the brand continued to evolve the design. They released the B/1.2, which swapped lapis lazuli for Tahitian mother-of-pearl and introduced a complex asymmetrical sapphire crystal. Subsequent prototypes utilizing meteorite and unique copper-infused carbon fiber were also auctioned, further establishing the duo's avant-garde reputation.

In early 2026, Toledano & Chan introduced the B/1.3r, significantly updating the model with a lighter, slightly smaller Grade 5 titanium case and a striking 18k solid gold dial stamped with a rippling texture. In a remarkably short time, Toledano & Chan has cemented its place as a cult-favorite independent brand, celebrated for prioritizing daring, uncompromising sculptural design over conventional watchmaking norms.

Toledano & Chan Collections

Toledano & Chan’s offerings are currently centered around a singular yet evolving line: the B/1 series. Rather than producing numerous traditional collections, the brand has focused on refining and experimenting with this core, highly distinctive silhouette using a variety of avant-garde materials.

The B/1 is the foundation of Toledano & Chan’s identity. The collection is defined by its brutalist, asymmetrical case design, which draws direct inspiration from the trapezoidal windows of the Breuer Building (the former Whitney Museum of American Art) in New York. Designed as wearable sculpture, these watches feature an integrated bracelet, a destro (left-handed) crown configuration, and stark, markerless dials.

Since its debut in 2024, the B/1 collection has progressed through several notable iterations:

The Original B/1 & B/1.2

The inaugural models were crafted from 904L stainless steel and introduced the brand's signature use of semi-precious dials, utilizing striking materials like lapis lazuli and Tahitian mother-of-pearl.

The B/1m

A highly limited, experimental model that pushed material boundaries by utilizing solid meteorite for the dial, case, and buckle.

The B/1.3r

Released in early 2026, this iteration represents a significant update. It transitioned the collection to a slightly smaller, lightweight Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet, paired with a meticulously textured, 18k solid gold "ripple" dial and a complex, faceted asymmetrical sapphire crystal.

How Much Do Toledano & Chan Watches Cost?

Toledano & Chan Watch Colors

The colors used on Toledano & Chan watches is dependent on the material. With the B/1 and B/1.2, the dial colour comes from the natural lapis lazuli and tahitian mother of pearl. The B/1m has a case, dial, and buckle made from meteorite, giving the watch its textured black and grey color. Finally, the B/1.3 features a grade 5 titanium case and bracelet, and an 18k gold dial, giving the case and bracelet a more grey metallic tone, contrasted by the yellow metallic dial.

Toledano & Chan Watch Materials

Toldeano & Chan uses premium materials, both conventional and unconventional, in its watches. The B/1 and B/1.2 utilized 904L steel for the case and bracelet. The B/1m used meteorite for the case, dial, and clasp. The B/1.3 uses grade 5 titanium for the case and bracelet, and 18k yellow gold for the dial. All models have used sapphire for the front crystal.

Toledano & Chan Watch Types

Given the experimental nature of Toledano & Chan’s watches, the statement “brutalist architecture on wrist” holds true. These watches are more sculptural statement pieces that function as watches than any sort of conventional wrist watch. Toldedano & Chan watches are for those looking for something truly different.
