A case crafted from historic railway steel

Railway 1926 was created to pay tribute to the railway epic. Its case houses a material steeped in history: the steel from an iconic rail dating back to 1997, taken from the LGV 1 high-speed line linking Brussels and Paris. On the wrist, it brings back to life what allowed millions of destinies to cross paths, reunite, and move forward.

“This century belongs to steam, just as the previous one belonged to sail”

An inspiration drawn from the Type 12 locomotive

An inspiration drawn from the Type 12 locomotive

The design of the Railway 1926 collection is inspired by the Type 12 locomotive of the Belgian railways, an absolute symbol of speed and modernity. Commissioned in 1939 by the SNCB, this streamlined steam locomotive linked Brussels to Ostend at 120 km/h, with test speeds reaching up to 160 km/h. Its full streamlining and concealed mechanics embodied bold engineering, conceived for pure performance and high-speed stability. A rare machine that became a legend of European rail.

Technical description

The case of the Railway 1926 is crafted from a genuine rail from the first TGV line between Brussels and Paris, which entered service in 1997. This historical material gives each watch a rare authenticity, directly linked to the Belgian railway heritage.

The Railway 1926 Automatic is powered by the Japanese Miyota 82S5 movement, an open-caliber renowned for its robustness and reliability. Featuring a distinctive small-seconds display, this mechanism subtly showcases its inner workings and offers a smooth and consistent timekeeping. A constant horological heart, true to Japanese standards, gives the watch an authentically mechanical appearance.

The 43mm diameter and 12.7mm thick case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, ensuring robustness and quality. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides optimal protection against shocks and scratches. Water-resistant to 10 ATM and with 20mm lug width, this case combines strength and elegance, guaranteeing the watch remarkable longevity without compromising on style.

The 316L steel case back features a polished silver finish that underlines the watch's understated elegance.

The bracelet, crafted entirely from 316L stainless steel and enhanced by a polished silver finish, embodies modernity and robustness. Designed for durability, this finish ensures a comfortable and secure wearing experience, further enhanced by a double-security folding clasp, ideal for everyday use.
