Streamliner Kennedy
This year, BRISTON is reinventing its iconic case with a brand new collection of square watches, available for men and women.
Inspired by the American Streamline movement of the 1930s, which made modern design its signature, the Streamliner Kennedy collection adopts the codes of Art Deco: geometric shapes, symmetry and a subtle contrast between straight lines and curves.
With its effortless elegance and decidedly vintage style, the Streamliner Kennedy is a modern reinterpretation of Art Deco. Its refined square case is enhanced by tortoise shell acetate sides, while the angles of the lugs are designed to ensure perfect visual continuity.
The Kennedy name perfectly fits this classic and timeless watch. The watch's design evokes a retro yet modern sophistication, much like the Kennedy style, often associated with a preppy and polished elegance. Indeed, John Fitzgerald Kennedy is a symbol of the American preppy movement: a blend of casualness and refinement. JFK was certainly one of the most prominent figures of this style and is often cited as one of the most elegant presidents in history, with a predilection for understated yet sophisticated accessories. The Kennedy Streamliner is the perfect blend of modernity and heritage, promoting an image of relaxed and timeless elegance.
Aside from the chronograph model, each watch in the collection has taken on a technical challenge: showcasing the acetate while ensuring optimal functionality. To achieve this, the crown, positioned at 12 o'clock, is adorned with a lapis lazuli cabochon, adding a touch of sophistication.
The case's meticulous finish is a key element of this collection. The tortoise shell acetate sides feature a mirror-polished finish, and each case is securely fastened with two side screws, ensuring seamless integration of the materials.
Designed for optimal comfort, the Streamliner Kennedy collection offers four distinct models:
- Quartz Small Seconds Chronograph (38.5 x 38.5 mm)
- Extra-flat automatic model (36 x 36 mm)
- Medium size model, suitable for men's and women's wrists (30 x 30 mm)
- Small format model, a "jewel" watch perfectly suited to the finest wrists (25 x 25 mm)
In harmony with the case design, each watch features a sophisticated double-layer dial, available in black or silver-white:
- A top layer with engraved Roman or Arabic numerals, echoing the iconic dial structure of the ClubmasterClassic.
- A "railway" timer harmoniously links the lower central part.
- A central area below, the depth of which is accentuated by refined guilloché work.
On the mechanism side, the collection incorporates high-precision movements:
- Ultra-thin automatic model: Miyota 9039 movement with a blued or steel central seconds hand, offers a contemporary version faithful to the BRISTON DNA. Its transparent caseback allows you to admire this caliber, adorned with an oscillating weight bearing the brand's coat of arms.
- Quartz chronograph: equipped with the Miyota JS20 movement, it has a unique feature: the seconds hand at 6 o'clock is activated as soon as the chronograph is triggered.
- Medium and small format models: powered by the Swiss Ronda 751 caliber, renowned for its reliability and exceptional 7-year battery life.
Interchangeability is a key feature of BRISTON. Each case is designed to fit the brand's entire strap collection. In just a few seconds, you can customize your watch with single- or double-wrap straps in NATO, FKM, leather, or steel, according to your desires.
Three bracelet sizes are available:
- 20 mm lug width for chronographs and automatic models.
- 18 mm for the medium model.
- 12 mm for the small format model.
With the Streamliner Kennedy, BRISTON offers a chic and urban collection with a timeless design, enhancing Art Deco and watchmaking expertise, while offering infinite customization.
