Mount Vernon Aventurine

There is a shimmer in aventurine that feels celestial—like distant starlight suspended in motion. This quiet brilliance is not imagined; it is the result of microscopic inclusions of mica within translucent quartz, scattering light in all directions. Known as aventurescence, this optical phenomenon has made aventurine one of the most evocative stones in fine decorative arts, and now, in watchmaking.

With the Mount Vernon Aventurine, we bring that celestial texture into our most versatile timepiece. This special edition remains rooted in the design language that defines the Mount Vernon—elegant proportions, a sculpted case, and our raised Breguet numerals—but now rendered in two luminous variants. One features a traditional hand-turned guilloché center bordered by aventurine, the other bathed entirely in aventurine from edge to edge, allowing its natural radiance to define the dial.

The outer chapter ring has been redesigned with refined markings, offering greater clarity while maintaining restraint. For the first time, the sunken seconds subdial carries its own set of complementary markers, subtle but precise—enhancing both legibility and balance.

This is more than a new finish. It is an expression of wonder through material, where classical watchmaking meets the quiet poetry of stone. The Mount Vernon Aventurine is a rare fusion of craft, elegance, and the eternal pull of the stars.

At 40.5mm in diameter and just 11.6mm thick, Mount Vernon Aventurine retains the same svelte proportions of the original Mount Vernon- remaining the ideal modern timepiece. Its proportions, including a 49mm lug-to-lug span, ensure a comfortable and refined presence on wrists both small and large. The case is crafted from polished 316L stainless steel, chosen for its timeless luster and durability. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures perfect legibility, while a sapphire crystal caseback provides a window to the meticulously finished movement within—blending functionality and elegance in a way few timepieces achieve.

For those seeking an even greater level of artistry, the Mount Vernon can be configured with full hand engraving, applied by one of the most talented American craftsmen. We believe this option makes it the most accessibly priced fully hand-engraved timepiece in the world, offering a rare opportunity to own a true work of art that reflects centuries of craftsmanship and tradition.

The Mount Vernon is more than just a watch; it’s a homage to George Washington, whose namesake estate inspires its title. Washington was a man of practicality, discipline, and hard work—qualities that resonate deeply with this timepiece and its creation. As the first design we developed, the Mount Vernon reflects the care, precision, and optimization of our craft, ensuring we deliver an extraordinary level of artistry at a remarkably accessible price.

Like Washington himself, the Mount Vernon is a symbol of timeless elegance, quiet strength, and unwavering dedication to excellence. Whether worn for a formal occasion or as a daily companion, this watch serves as a sophisticated reminder of the history it honors and the artistry it embodies.
