The handsome Howard collection celebrates both the past and present, in both design and functionality. It is, in our opinion, a fantastic modern gentleman’s watch. Its design is inspired by none other than the art deco style of the late 19th century. This is evidenced by the curved Arabic numerals and of course the luxe pinstripe detailing. The hands have been accented with a thin, white, glossy strip. The modern 40.5mm case size isn’t obtrusive, and should fit and look well on pretty much anyone’s wrist. The case is mostly brushed steel, except for the bezel and case back, which is exhibition style. The Howard is powered by the newly developed caliber F6722, which is automatic, hand-winding, and hacking.
