Bourbon Watch Company Rue Canal Watch

Bourbon Watch Company - Rue Canal Watch - Streetcar Dial 

New Orleans’ famous green and red streetcars have shuttled passengers along oak-lined St. Charles Avenue since 1835. But did you know that the green cars were also used on the Canal Street line from 1861 to 1964? The watch is encased in a vintage-inspired 39mm stainless steel case with teardrop-shaped lugs, a hallmark of mid-century Swiss design, and used here to evoke the ornamented tops of the iron gates found throughout the French Quarter.

The heart of Rue Canal is powered by an elaboré grade Sellita SW-210 refined with Côtes de Genève and perlage finishings and can be glimpsed through the watch’s sapphire display caseback.
