As time passes, there’s a growing sense of anxiety for those who cling to the status quo. A fear of change, of transience; of ageing skin and graying hairs; of scratches on a watch or bike frame.

The inability to accept wrinkles or rust is a subtle statement: it points to a disinclination to lead an active life and keep up with the times. The Vintage VDB No Limit Bronze is a rarity amongst watches, made with a hunger to be worn. Its value increases with its wear, each scratch telling a unique tale. You can’t put a price on experience.

The Vintage VDB is designed for those who appreciate the passing of time, seeing its bronze exterior embrace a genuine patina that not only speaks volume about the wearer’s life experience but adds protection and transforms the wristwatch into a real gem. Looking back over its life, the wearer can be proud of their journey together. No one can suppress time, but you can certainly beat the fear of its passing..
