German watchmaker Tutima Glashütte and Los Angeles-based luxury leather goods designer George Esquivel have come together to make a range of travel accessories and a travel timepiece.
The Compass range includes a pair of Esquivel’s famed Chelsea boots and an overnight duffle bag matching a version of Tutima’s Patria Dual Time watch accessorized with two NATO straps and a watch holder.
Tutima and Esquivel say they share a focus on craftsmanship and design innovation.
“When we learned of George’s passion for watch collecting and his personal experience with Tutima, we knew he would be the perfect partner to collaborate with,” says Gustavo Calzadilla, president & CEO of Tutima USA.
“It was important we create a collection that perfectly represents the value of fine craftsmanship instilled in both Tutima and Esquivel and we found the same dedicated effort and attention to detail in his journey of creation as we have at Tutima.”
The Tutima Patria Dual Time is a 43mm stainless steel watch with a white silver dial and 18ct rose gold hands.
It is powered by a hand wound Caliber 619 movement, on display through a crystal case back, with 65 hour power reserve.
Each watch is sold with a choice of single or double strap designed and made by Esquivel.
Limited to 25 pieces, each watch is co-branded with logos from both brands.
The travel pieces are sold as a set and retail for $16,900 at Esquivel’s atelier in downtown Los Angeles, Gary’s in Newport Beach, and the Tutima USA and Esquivel Shoes websites.
