Model R

The inaugural timepiece from Tertium Quid Watch Tokyo — a hand-wound alarm wristwatch that bridges the gap between historical reverence and contemporary precision.

Heritage & Design

Rooted in the founders' deep appreciation for authentic vintage timepieces and pocket watches, the Model R was engineered in collaboration with one of Japan’s most esteemed watch designers to translate a shared aesthetic into a modern masterpiece.

Expert Craftsmanship

Every Model R is assembled and regulated by a master watchmaker. Our case, hands, and components are precision-manufactured by Japan's leading suppliers, then finished entirely by hand to meet the uncompromising standards of our founders.

The Heart: Modified AS1475

At its core lies a heavily modified A. Schild 1475 movement. Beyond its mechanical function, every surface is hand-finished, transforming a vintage engine into a showcase of artisanal excellence.
