, produced by the four founders of Rohje watchmakers, will draw you in with its functional, but sleek design and extreme comfort of wearing. The story of Rohje was inspired by long-lasting friendship and the common dreams they shared. Four childhood friends – who became the founding fathers of Rohje – and keen adventurers, wanted to create an accessory that would be useful during long escapades, but also remind them of where home is.

They’re available in dark brown and beige, and give what would be considered an otherwise urban gadget, a bit more of a rustic, natural feel. Then there’s the dials; the upper sub dial is a reminder of the northern hemisphere and how day and night sometimes blend into one.
