Calibre V-72
The imagined automatic calibre is specified with a 70-hour reserve and a seconds stop for setting across time zones.
Long-term care
A serviceable construction gives straps, crystals and moving parts a clear path to repair in this product concept.
Born from the space between two cities.
In 2019, a small group of designers and watchmakers began meeting after hours between Copenhagen’s old harbour and its new ateliers. They shared one frustration: modern watches had become either nostalgic costumes or digital gadgets. VELA became their answer — mechanical instruments with calm proportions, honest materials and enough character to collect a lifetime of journeys.
Every reference in this concept collection is imagined as a chapter in that continuing story: a companion for crossings, late arrivals and mornings when time feels briefly yours again.
