Toledano & Chan B/1 B/1

Toledano & Chan Lapis Lazuli Dial B/1 Steel

Launched in 2024 as one of horology’s most exciting independent watchmakers, Toledano & Chan was founded by geezer extraordinaire Phil Toledano and his business partner Alfred Chan as a way to merge a shared appreciation for brutalist architecture with their shared passion for horology. Emerging from that shared vision, Toldano & Chan launched their first watch, the B/1, inspired by the brutalist Met Breuer building in New York City. Featuring a third-dimensional case that measures 33.5mm wide but ranges from 9.1mm to 10.4mm thick, the B/1’s lapis lazuli display is angled with the case towards the wearer. Boasting a destroy case design with its crown at 9 o’clock and offered on an integrated bracelet with an exaggerated taper that ensures every single link on the bracelet is uniquely shaped, the B/1 showcases an unparalleled level of forethought and design, with the bevel on the 3 o’clock side of the B/1’s stainless steel case tracing its way along the entirely of its bracelet. With its uninterrupted blue lapis lazuli dial and unique design, the Toledano & Chan B/1 is a true triumph of independent watchmaking that deservedly sold out of all of its 175 pieces.
