That’s right, Mr Henry is unveiling a brand new watch, and we’ve got the distinct privilege of being the first to be able to tell you about it. Introducing the Dan Henry 1937. Stylised to pay homage to the Art Deco era and the gorgeous watches it spawned, the 1937 chronograph is a handsome piece of kit, and reminiscent of watches such as Vacheron Constantin’s Ref.4072 and Patek Philippe’s Ref.130.
