It\u2019s style and sport.<\/p>\n

Power and precision.<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship and artistry.<\/p>\n

Our most refined and modern timepiece to date, the Canfield Sport<\/a> is our take on the quintessential American sports watch.<\/p>\n

Because complexity takes center stage in this series, the design phase for these timepieces was anything but easy. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge for this project was to bring all the elements together in a harmonious and effortless way,\u201d says Molly Wang, the designer of the Canfield Sport. \u201cFor example, we chose a matte dial background to contrast the polished elements of the timepiece. We also raised the 6 o\u2019clock sub dial in an effort to reduce clutter.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n

There are two sizes and two new movements among the 10 colorway options<\/a> for the Canfield Sport: a 40mm with the Argonite 5040.D quartz movement, and a 45mm with an Argonite 5040.F quartz movement. Both movements are highly accurate and built in Detroit with Swiss and imported parts. <\/p>\n

Clean and elevated, every Canfield Sport features three sub dials and a fixed top ring with ceramic insert. No detail of the timepiece is without purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ceramic insert speaks to the ethos of the watch.\u202f Ceramic is known for its lasting richness, and beauty as an elevated material,\u201d Greg Verras added, the designer behind the original Canfield.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an ambitious collection that deserved an ambitious introduction. That\u2019s why we launched #ShinolaBuilds, a remarkable behind-the-scenes series designed to take people on the journey as we meticulously assembled these stunning timepieces.<\/p>\n

People who expressed early interest in the design were given a front row seat to the detailed process. <\/p>\n

But in case you missed it, here\u2019s a look at some of the big steps:<\/p>\n
