Dennison Watch – Capsule Collection Safari TIGER Limited Edition

Dennison ALD Safari Tiger: Wild Luxury on Your Wrist

The Safari Tiger model is part of the prestigious Safari Capsule collection, designed for the revived Dennison brand by legendary designer Emmanuel Gueit (creator of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore). This limited edition transforms the popular ALD "cushion" case shape into a luxurious jewel, embodying the fierceness of a tiger and the sparkle of premium diamonds.

Where Swiss Precision Meets Untamed Savanna Elegance.

What makes the Safari Tiger model absolutely exceptional is its orange mother-of-pearl dial. However, this is not just an ordinary surface; the mother-of-pearl is hand-decorated with the technique of black enamel inlay, which creates a realistic tiger stripe pattern. Thanks to the iridescence of the mother-of-pearl, the dial changes colors from warm amber through copper tones to honey-gold, depending on the light. Each piece is absolutely unique due to the natural origin of the mother-of-pearl – no two tiger patterns are identical.

The luxurious character is enhanced by the case set with two rows of natural diamonds (totaling approx. 1.79 carats), which line its circumference. Although it is a striking piece of jewelry, the watch maintains its incredible slimness – with a profile of just 6.05 mm, it ranks among the thinnest watches of its kind in the world. The magical detail is completed by the Dennison logo printed on the inside of the sapphire crystal, which makes it appear as if it is freely floating in space above the tiger pattern.

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 specialist in vintage watches and owner of the auction house Watches of Knightsbridge. 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 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, thus combining historical elements with modern trends.
