The Canfield requires a uniquely sensitive assembly process. Unlike any watch we've built before, all components of The Canfield are assembled through the front of the watch with the bezel closing last.
As always, the process begins with the movement being tested and attached to the dial. Then the placement of the gasket is checked, and everything, including the sapphire crystal, is thoroughly cleaned. Next, the watch head is placed on a casing cushion for support and the hands are checked for alignment. The top bezel is then carefully aligned with the red gasket. Once aligned, the watch head is placed on a press, and a hand lever is pulled down to secure the bezel to the case frame. At this stage, the watch frame is completely sealed. After the watch head is rigorously evaluated, it is fitted with either a US-made leather strap or an imported stainless steel bracelet. The end result is a beautiful timepiece assembled in our state-of-the-art Detroit factory and built to last a lifetime.
