The Vertex MP45 is a contemporary take on the Mono-Pusher timing watch commissioned during the Second World War. We are thrilled to offer this unique piece of horological history to readers of Gentleman’s Journal.

ABOUT

In 1912, Claude Octavius Lyons set up Dreadnought Watches with a loan from his father-in law. He paid it back within the year, and spent the next 50 years becoming a leading light of the local community and the international watch trade. In 2016, Lyons’ great-grandson, Don Cochrane, re-incorporated the company and has been creating quality, timeless timepieces ever since.

WHY WE CHOSE THEM

“It’s rare to find a new player on the watch market that creates products of such quality. And, although Vertex is steeped in history and heritage, these new watches are incredibly special — there’s something very cool about owning a watch so rare and unique.”

– Harry Jarman, Editor-In-Chief.
