The Toledano & Chan B/1 takes its design cues from the angular concrete geometry of Marcel Breuer's Whitney Museum—now worn as a 33.5mm wristwatch. This isn't a watch that whispers. With its asymmetrical case, left-hand crown placement, and genuine lapis lazuli dial, it announces itself as wearable sculpture from the moment you strap it on.
The Story
Toledano & Chan was founded by Phil Toledano—known to collectors as Mr. Enthusiast—whose photography has documented watch culture for over a decade. Partnering with designer Alfred Chan, the duo created the B/1 as an homage to the bold jewelry-watches of the 1970s. Each piece ships in a hand-cast concrete presentation box that mirrors the Brutalist DNA of the watch itself.
Who It's For
If you collect based on design provenance rather than brand recognition, the B/1 delivers something no mainstream manufacturer offers: genuine architectural intent at a collector-accessible price. The destro crown placement and stone dial make it a conversation piece that stands apart from the sea of round steel sports watches.
