The Camden Watch Company has released two new designs

The No.253 is a complex and intricate timepiece designed as a homage to the great advancements in engineering during the Victorian era. The dial itself is based on the wheel of a steam train, a beautiful and often overlooked piece of design.

Camden was once a hive of railway activity, receiving goods from the empire and distributing them via canal boats and steam trains all over the country.

This became the focus for designing the key feature of the dial, the raised index platform. Inspiration was taken from what is arguably one of the most overlooked yet beautiful elements on a steam train: the wheel.
