What to know

Svea Atelier’s debut Monolith collection takes its direction from mid-century design, using an asymmetrical case and a bracelet that continues the watch’s angular silhouette. The Core range comprises Lattice, Oxblood and Fjord, while the Atelier Series offers Tiger Eye and Onyx stone-dial versions.

The official Oxblood listing specifies a 27.5 × 27 × 5.5mm 316L steel case with gold PVD, a Swiss-made Ronda 1062 quartz movement, sapphire crystal and 50-metre water resistance. Assembly takes place in Landskrona, Sweden. Oxblood is priced at €680; the official collection lists the two stone-dial versions at €780.
