Bernhardt Manifest series (August 2026): each watch is a one-off ("Piece Unique") built by Bernhardt's in-house watchmakers around a restored vintage American pocket-watch movement and its original dial, numbered by the variant name. The Conductor uses Hamilton movements: 7599 is circa late 1930s and 2949 circa early 1930s, both 17-jewel Hamilton Grade 912 (12-size, three-quarter plate, pendant set). Brand specs: purpose-built 316L steel case, 45mm, "approximately 12mm" thick (crystal inclusion not stated), articulated pivoting lugs, sapphire crystal and sapphire display back, blued steel-style hands, assembled and finished in the USA. Both pieces were sold out on 2026-10-25. No movement file is used because each watch carries a different antique movement.
