    Brand vibe

    Filipino microbrand named after Odysseus's loyal dog Argos... which sets the tone: faithful, a little romantic, willing to wait twenty years. The Internet tells the tale of Ivan Jeff Soberano getting bitten by horology on a 2019 Japan trip, came home, and pulled together four collaborators during the pandemic to do something other than buy yet another mass-produced dial. Three families now: the dressy 39mm Asteri (NH38A, no-date), the field-leaning 38mm Odyssey (NH35A), and the mecha-quartz Intervallum chronograph (VK64A) co-designed with De Guzman & Co. Designed, assembled, and tested in Manila... a sentence not many independents get to own.
