About Tertium Quid Watch Tokyo
Tertium Quid Watch Tokyo: For experienced, by experienced
Concept of "Tertium Quid Watch"
Tertium Quid is a Latin phrase meaning “a third something” — a substance distinct from two established forms. Our mission is to create the Tertium Quid for the experienced collectors. You already deeply understand dress, sport, casual, and tool watches. We saw what lies beyond them. By synthesizing the strongest elements of traditional genres while transcending their constraints, we forge an entirely new class of timepiece — a singular instrument designed for those who believed they had already seen everything.
