Based on the original watch that went up with the first man, Hermann Buhl, who climbed yet another eight- thousand, Nanga Parbat, 8,126 m (26,660 ft) in 1953.
What makes the Hercules Watch genuinely remarkable is its fusion of Alpinism and exquisite craftsmanship.

These lines are filled with BGW9 SuperLuminova, illuminating a captivating bright blue at night, paying homage to the permafrost atop the Himalayas.
