Austin (Texas) based watch brand DuFrane has launched an exclusive collection of watches created in collaboration with local artist Whitney Lauren.
Limited to just 16 timepieces (15 Waterloo models and 1 Travis model), this new DuFrane watch series spotlights highly artistic dials. Each dial is unique and meticulously hand painted by Whitney Lauren using oil paint.
Equipped with the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 movement, these automatic wristwatches are hand assembled by the master watchmaker of DuFrane Watch Company located at Austin, USA.
Made of 316L grade stainless steel, the case has a diameter of 39mm. The DuFrane Whitney Lauren watch is available with a brushed steel or rose gold finish.
With this new collection, the brand is offering a solid end Link bracelet and custom curved end, full grain leather strap paired by Whitney to compliment each dial. Each timepiece from this new collection will be delivered in a soft, yet protective, custom leather pouch.
All the 16 timepieces from the DuFrane x Whitney Lauren collection will be available for purchase on Saturday October 28th at 12pm CT (Central Timezone). Suggested retail price range is $975.00 to $1,049.00. Please visit DuFrane Watches Online Store for more details.
