Project Overview

Nomad is a contemporary, Scottish watch brand that cares about the small details and places value in true craftsmanship. Calling on a global network of collaborators, each watch carries the clean lines and durable sensibilities of Nomad, as well as nuances of the designer’s own environment.

Modern yet versatile. Minimal but considered. The Mòltair is the watch for the individual who appreciates thoughtful, contemporary design and honest craftsmanship. Deceptively simple in appearance but meticulous in its detailing.

Project Brief

Designed in London by Samuel Wilkinson, whose award-winning Plumen 001 lighting pushed him to the forefront of contemporary design, the Mòltair sees a delicate interplay between clean lines and soft curves. Seeking to design something that would age gracefully, Wilkinson immersed himself in the manufacturing process, selecting each material with careful consideration. The result is a charming balance of form and function.

Project Innovation/Need

A textured steel case, mimicking a cast iron pot, injects a subtle element of Gaelic coarseness into the design. A smooth hexagonal crown complements the case, and a Japanese Miyota movement allows you to keep accurate time wherever you may travel.

Crystal clear bevelled glass accentuates the overlaid block hands and marking-free dial. The colour combinations of the aluminium hands give a playful edge to the Mòltair's pared back style.

Crafted from organic Swedish leather, the vegetable-tanned strap will rest comfortably around your wrist, as carefully spaced notches ensure a precise fit. A cleverly engineered backplate connects the strap and casing, without compromising on the Mòltair's pure design.

Sustainability

We believe in quality, reasoned design, and that also applies to our packaging. Conscious of the environment, your Mòltair will arrive embedded in a block of natural, biodegradable British felt which has been vacuum packed in a recyclable bag.
