ALD Dual Time – Turquoise & Falcon Eye Stone In Steel

A new chapter for Dennison design

The new ALD Dual Time seamlessly blends form and function, displaying two distinct time zones on a split dial. Crafted with natural stones set side by side, it pairs the vivid elegance of Turquoise with the rich, silky depth of Falcon Eye. The contrasting stones not only distinguish the two time zones at a glance but also elevate the design into a statement of refined utility and timeless artistry.

All too often, it’s assumed that dual time watches are only useful for travel. But sometimes the watch itself can be a journey, an instant connection to a faraway person or place. Whether it’s a loved one away for work, a favorite destination you’re longing to get back to, or a dream trip yet to be taken, a subtle reminder on the wrist can be nearly as powerful as a plane ticket.
The new Dennison ALD Dual Time is a watch that can transport you to any corner of the globe you desire without ever leaving home. It is a watch built to foster connection and spark
imagination, with each turn of a crown or glance at the dial an invitation for a new experience.

More presence, more expression: greater space to reveal mineral beauty
The ALD Dual Time is built on the same design principles as the original ALD. The gently curved cushion case is easy to wear on a variety of wrist sizes, thanks to the integrated lugs and slim profile. However, the case and dial of the Dual Time have been subtly resized — 2 mm wider than that of its predecessor — giving it a little more presence on the wrist and offering more space for the beautiful stone dials to shine.

With a subtle nod to the “TV case” forms of the 1970s, the ALD Dual Time carries a gentle hint of nostalgia. Each dial features two pairs of hour–minute hands — left and right — each set by its own crown. This twin display brings a symmetrical balance to both case and dial, playfully offset by the colors and spectacular textures of the stones.

The timeless nobility of natural stone dials, offering two distinct styles:

• The dual stone dials – Each combines two different stones within a single dial, each framing one time zone. The warm iridescence of tiger’s eye converses with the refined depth of black marble, while the textures and tones of green bloodstone and blue lapis lazuli create a perfectly judged contrast. The split dial also allows the two time zones to be distinguished
  at a glance — combining utility with aesthetics.
• The eloquence of a monolithic dial – A more understated approach, using large plates of
  a single stone: lapis lazuli, malachite, tiger’s eye, or aventurine, all emblematic of the brand. To enrich the dial visually (and aid time reading), each incorporates a sunray finished subdial at 3 o’clock in a complementary color, framing the second time zone.
• With these two dial options, cases in stainless steel or gold PVD, a range of Epsom leather straps, and matching buckles, the ALD Dual Time offers a variety of color combinations to suit every style.

A History of Making History
Aaron Lufkin Dennison, founder of Dennison and co-founder of Waltham, registered patent no. 356 for an air and watertight watch case back in 1872. The rest, as we say, is our history.
