Brew Metric Retro Dial: a coffee timer with a remarkably coherent shape

Brew’s Metric Retro Dial gathers its identity into a compact rounded-square case. A black dial, coloured timing accents and an unconventional register layout create a recognisable face, while the steel bracelet continues the brushed and polished surfaces of the case. The highlighted seconds sector reflects Brew’s interest in timing espresso extraction, though the chronograph can measure other short intervals too.

The steel case measures 36 by 41.5mm and is 10.75mm thick, with sapphire glass and a 5 ATM water-resistance rating. Its VK68 meca-quartz chronograph combines quartz timekeeping with a mechanical chronograph mechanism, powered by a battery. It is therefore neither an automatic nor a fully mechanical chronograph. This is a profile of an established Metric configuration.
