Dennison Watch – ALD Dual Time – Lapis & Blue Sunray In Steel

Dennison Watches

The ALD Dual Time combines form and function in an elegant design featuring a monolithic dial made from natural lapis lazuli. Its rich blue surface with golden inclusions creates a striking texture and natural depth, giving each piece a unique character.

At the 3 o'clock position, a recessed sub-dial with a delicate sunray effect clearly displays the second time zone. This original and technically demanding craftsmanship reflects the ALD brand's philosophy and its emphasis on distinctive design, artisanal precision, and unique expression.

Dennison Watches is a brand with a rich history. Under the direction of Emmanuel Gueit (designer of the legendary Rolex Cellini and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watches), the A.L.D. collection brings to the world watches that are not only functional time-measuring instruments but also aesthetic pieces that celebrate the beauty of natural materials and innovative design.

A.L.D. Collection – a return to retro elegance

The A.L.D. collection features square "television-shaped" cases with a diameter of 37 mm, water-resistant to 30 meters. They are available in stainless steel or with a PVD gold finish. Emphasis is placed on minimalist design with dials made from natural stones: lapis lazuli, malachite, tiger's eye, and aventurine. The watches are powered by Swiss Ronda quartz movements.

Dennison Watches – history and present

The history of the Dennison brand began in 1874 when Aaron Lufkin Dennison founded the Dennison Watch Case Company in Massachusetts. The company specialized in manufacturing watch cases and became a significant supplier to renowned brands such as Rolex, Longines, IWC, and Tudor. Dennison's innovation lay in introducing standardized components, which enabled efficient watch production and repair, thereby contributing to the development of the American watchmaking industry.

After a period of stagnation, the Dennison brand was revived in 2024 thanks to an investment by Toby Sutton, a vintage watch specialist and owner of the Watches of Knightsbridge auction house. The new collection, named A.L.D. (Aaron Lufkin Dennison), was introduced with the aim of paying homage to the brand's founder and bringing modern watches with a retro feel to the world.

Designer Emmanuel Gueit – master of modern design

The A.L.D. collection was designed by the renowned Swiss designer Emmanuel Gueit, known for his work for brands such as Audemars Piguet (Royal Oak Offshore), Piaget (Polo), and Rolex (Cellini). Gueit, born into a family with a watchmaking tradition, brings his passion for design and innovation to the A.L.D. collection, combining historical elements with modern trends.
