ALBEDO-1901
Honest Horology. No Compromises.
Albedo was born in Horst, The Netherlands, out of a simple frustration: the fact that "affordable" watches are often built to be disposable. We saw beautiful designs ruined by scratched acrylic crystals and "genuine" leather straps that fell apart in months. We decided to change that.
Our philosophy is to bridge the gap between high-end luxury and honest value. We don't believe Sapphire glass or Italian Full-Grain leather should be expensive "upgrades", they are our baseline. By stripping away traditional industry markups and investing directly into the materials, we create timepieces that feel as significant as the milestones they mark.
The Albedo 1901 - Mechanical Soul
Our debut model is a tribute to the golden age of horology. It is a nod to vintage aesthetics, powered by a mechanical heartbeat that speaks to those who appreciate the "old-school" soul of watchmaking. Featuring an upgraded Golden Swan-Neck Regulator for pinpoint precision and paired with hand-stitched Full-Grain Italian leather, the 1901 is designed to be worn, admired, and eventually passed on.
The Heart of the 1901
THE SOUL OF A MECHANICAL CHRONOGRAPH.
Inside the 1901 beats the historically renowned ST-1901 movement. Originally based on the Swiss Venus 175, this column-wheel chronograph offers a storied legacy of precision.
The Golden Upgrade: We didn't stop at the standard. Every 1901 is equipped with an upgraded Golden Swan-Neck Regulator. This doesn't just look beautiful through the exhibition caseback—it allows for micro-adjustments that ensure long-term accuracy and easier maintenance for years to come.
