Named after the Nahuatl word for “flower,” Xochitl expresses elegance through color, texture, and mechanical craftsmanship. Its pink textured dial creates a soft, dimensional surface that catches the light with every movement, giving the watch a refined appearance while remaining distinctive and unmistakably its own.

Inside, the reliable NH35 automatic movement powers the watch without a battery. It winds naturally as you wear it and can also be wound manually when needed, combining traditional mechanical watchmaking with dependable everyday performance.

The carefully finished case provides a balanced foundation for the dial, while the integrated bracelet creates a clean and sophisticated profile on the wrist. Through the exhibition caseback, the custom rotor can be seen moving with the watch, revealing the mechanical character behind the design.

Xochitl is a watch created for those who appreciate thoughtful details, personal expression, and the timeless beauty of mechanical timekeeping.

A quartz watch is powered by a small battery and uses a quartz crystal to keep time. The battery sends electricity through the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a precise frequency. These vibrations drive the movement of the watch hands. Quartz watches are known for their accuracy, low maintenance, and long-lasting battery life.

A mechanical watch is powered by a wound spring, known as the mainspring, rather than a battery. When the spring is wound, it slowly unwinds, releasing energy to move the gears and hands of the watch. This movement is regulated by an escapement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Mechanical watches require regular winding and are valued for their craftsmanship and precision.

Choosing between a quartz or mechanical movement depends on your preferences and lifestyle:

Quartz Movement: If you’re looking for a watch that is highly accurate, low maintenance, and affordable, a quartz movement is ideal. It’s powered by a battery and requires minimal upkeep, making it perfect for everyday wear with long-lasting reliability.
Mechanical Movement: If you appreciate craftsmanship, tradition, and don’t mind regular winding, a mechanical watch might be your best choice. Mechanical watches are often seen as more luxurious due to the intricate engineering involved and are valued by collectors and enthusiasts.

Ultimately, it depends on whether you prioritize precision and convenience (quartz) or craftsmanship and tradition (mechanical).
