If you’re weak for the pillow-shaped oyster cases of the past, but having trouble fitting them on your wrist, than E.C.Andersson North Sea might be an ideal watch for you. It measures 40 mm in diameter, 10 mm thin, and sits just right no matter the wrist size.
But let us start from the beginning. What is E.C.Andersson, and why did it suddenly appear on the highly competitive watch scene? The answer is quite simple. “Detail manufacturing is my true love,” states the brand’s founder and namesake, Erik C. Andersson.
It all started when Erik was a young boy and his grandfather showed him how to build miniature steam engines. “I was awed by the fact that such small metal parts could work together and create such power,” he recalls. Even though Erik later found his passion in automatic timepieces, it was this fascination that ignited the choices of his life.
The very first E.C.Andersson model started on a piece of paper eight years ago. “I have always been fascinated with the past — industrialism and mechanics that don’t depend on electricity or software. So I wanted a design that paid tribute to the heritage of horology, but merged it with a bold, progressive look.” The inspiration is the very first pillow-shaped oyster case, introduced in the late 1920s.
“I love it when watches feel intricate in their simplicity, when they show you from first glance what I can use them for.” The watch, called the North Sea, is just that – robust and durable, clean and functional, but always letting you feel the hard work that went into it. The North Sea is made to be visible in all light conditions, with sharp, illuminated indices, a vivid minute frame and an exposed, white calendar wheel contrasting with the matte black dial.
