What is Toledano & Chan?
Toledano & Chan is a small independent watch brand created by Phil Toledano and Alfred Chan, whose backgrounds lie in art and design. Its work centres on a single, highly recognisable model family, the B/1.
Products and positioning
The B/1 launched with a lapis lazuli dial set in an asymmetric case and has since been produced in a series of variations, including a carbon fibre one-off, a solid meteorite version and dials in mother of pearl and 24 carat gold plating. The design is often described as brutalist, combining an angular case with an integrated titanium bracelet.
In 2026 the brand introduced the B/1.3R, featuring a solid 18 carat gold dial with a ripple texture. It uses a 32mm grade 5 titanium case, slimmer than the original, a sapphire crystal, 50 metres of water resistance and a Sellita SW100 automatic movement displaying hours and minutes only.
Distribution
Toledano & Chan sells directly to collectors and through selected partners, including Time+Tide Watch Discovery Studios in London, Melbourne and New York. Production runs are limited.
Why it matters
The brand shows how design-led independents can build a following around one distinctive object, using limited releases and material experiments rather than broad collections.
