Burlington - Mustang MK Limited Edition

Burlington - Mustang MK Limited Edition



























The name Burlington may refer to many a thing besides a company of the Kayser-Roth Corporation. In case of the Burlington Watch Company, there are actually traces of an earlier mail order trade company which supplied pocket watches mostly manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company, which was sold to the Hamilton Watch Company around 1927. The Burlington tradinc company also imported and signed Swiss watches manufactured by H. Moser & Cie.


Now I know not if the Burlington Watch Company discussed here has any ties with the Burlington Watch Co. of yester, but I really like the branding and product design of the new company.





Assembled by hand in the US, the watches use state-of-the-Art components: cases are made in Germany, dials are made by Lüm-Tec™ and the UNITAS movements are made by ETA in Switzerland.
Take the watch pictured above, the Mustang MK: there is a myriad of watches inpired by German aviator timepieces, yet the Burlington designer managed to give a new twist to the original look. The minutes and hours hands are see-through and coated with luminous compound (I’m guessing some A-grade Super-Luminova™), and the counter for seconds has tiny lookalike screws that make it look like the part of an aircraft dashboard.





























 
The Burlington Watch Company specializes in producing small runs of hand assembled, unique watches. Every watch is assembled and regulated. Burlington Watch Company only uses the highest quality materials from Germany, Switzerland and the USA.
