DEVON Works introducing the chocolate brown Tread 2 Godiva

In order to expand upon the success of their wildly popular Tread 2 line of timepiece, Devon’s design department began experimenting this year with earth-toned materials, and one of the pieces they put together was immediately recognized as something special.

Its case is coated in a very and rich dark chocolate brown PVD, an unusual, but very decadent tone with velvety hues of purple, and paired it with a complimentary brown croc-embossed strap, brown Time Belts and gold-toned movement parts.

DEVON Tread 2 Godiva is the result of a design experiment that quickly conquered the heart of the founder Scott Devon.

The team received further confirmation of their success in March when they showed the finished product to company founder and creative director, Scott Devon, who immediately had the timepiece added the company’s display cases at Baselworld.

First impressions

Devon is one of those brands that are distinguishing themselves with an innovative design and technology. The unusual dark brown PVD is just one of the expressions of the companies gutsy approach to design and by looking at these pictures I’m in love golden parts that work really nice with the brown case and strap.

I would love to have a closer look and see this pice from all the angles. Unfortunately to the Devon website, there are only two retailers carrying this brand in Canada, Louis Black in Toronto and BMA Watches & Jewelry in Vancouver. As soon as I have my hands on a Devon, I promise to post some photos here.

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
