AURATA Launches New Line of Collector’s Watches – Timepieces Built for Passion

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – AURATA LLC, a Seattle-based company dedicated to crafting exceptional timepieces, today announced the launch of its highly anticipated collection of collectible watches for men. These aren’t just watches to tell time; they’re built for those who get watches – the collectors, the enthusiasts, the guys who appreciate the art and mechanics behind a really good timepiece. AURATA, operating out of its Seattle headquarters (1037 NE 65TH STREET #81233, Seattle, WA, 98115-6655, United States), has been quietly building a reputation amongst a dedicated core of watch lovers. “We’re not trying to be the biggest,” explains a company spokesperson, reachable at 303-200-1418. “We’re focused on being different. On building watches that tell a story, that hold value – both emotionally and potentially financially – and that are genuinely enjoyable to own and wear.” What Makes AURATA Different? It’s About the Details. Forget mass-produced stuff. AURATA watches are designed with a real appreciation for the history of horology, blended with a modern, practical aesthetic. They’ve clearly listened to what collectors actually want. Limited Editions: This isn’t about churning out thousands of identical watches. AURATA is committed to small-batch production. Each model is released in a limited run, often with unique serial numbers and certificates of authenticity. This immediately creates a sense of exclusivity. "We're talking about pieces that aren't going to be on everyone's wrist," says the spokesperson. "That's intentional." Movement Matters: AURATA isn't skimping on the guts of the watch. They’re focusing on reliable, high-quality movements – a mix of automatic and manual-wind options. "For a lot of collectors, the movement is the watch. It's the heart of it. We’re using movements that are known for their accuracy and longevity,” explains the company. They’re also transparent about the origins of their movements, a big plus for serious collectors. Dial Designs with Personality: Forget boring, cookie-cutter dials. AURATA is experimenting with textures, colors, and complications (things like date windows, day/night indicators, and even moon phases). "We want dials that are interesting to look at, that catch the light, that have a bit of character,” says the company. They’re pulling inspiration from vintage watches, mid-century modern design, and even aviation instruments. Case Construction and Materials: AURATA is using a variety of case materials, including surgical-grade stainless steel, titanium, and even bronze. Case sizes are generally in the 38mm to 42mm range – a sweet spot for many collectors who prefer a classic, wearable size. They’re paying close attention to case finishing, with options like brushed, polished, and even DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coatings for added durability. Strap Selection: A great watch deserves a great strap. AURATA is offering a range of straps, including leather (from reputable tanneries), NATO straps, and even metal bracelets. They're also incorporating quick-release spring bars, making it easy to swap straps and customize the look of the watch. Current Models – A Sneak Peek AURATA’s current lineup is focused on three core models, each with its own distinct personality: The ‘Navigator’: Inspired by vintage pilot’s watches, the Navigator features a clean, legible dial, a rotating bezel, and a comfortable, durable strap. It’s available with either a black or silver dial and is powered by a reliable automatic movement. This is AURATA’s “go-anywhere” watch. The ‘Artisan’: A more refined and elegant timepiece, the Artisan features a textured dial, a slim case profile, and a dressy leather strap. It’s available with a variety of dial colors, including cream, blue, and gray, and is powered by a manual-wind movement, giving the owner a direct connection to the heart of the watch. The ‘Explorer’: Built for adventure, the Explorer features a rugged case, a highly legible dial with luminous hands and markers, and a durable strap. It’s water-resistant to 200 meters and is powered by a robust automatic movement. This is a watch that can handle anything you throw at it. Beyond the Watch – Building a Community AURATA isn't just selling watches; they’re trying to build a community around a shared passion for horology. They're active on social media (look for them online!) and are planning to host events and workshops for watch enthusiasts. They also offer a personalized customer service experience, going above and beyond to answer questions and provide support. “We want our customers to feel like they’re part of something special,” says the spokesperson. “We want them to be proud to own an AURATA watch and to share their passion with others.” Where to Learn More Interested in learning more about AURATA and its collection of collectible watches?
