Harding Jetstream HJ04 Quartz Watch

Known for their large, legible watches, Harding sticks to a proven formula with the Jetstream HJ04. Featuring Arabic numerals at the cardinal hours and stick markers in between, it’s easy to read and bold. A date window is positioned at 3 o’clock. The hands and markers are luminous for added visibility. To go with the bold styling is a hefty 46.5-millimeter case and thick leather strap. The right side of the case is appointed with a large crown bearing the Harding logo, a minimalist representation of a bull. The stainless steel case houses a Miyota 2317 quartz movement. It’s water resistant to 100 meters.

One cold spring night in Switzerland, seven friends came together with an idea to create a new kind of watch, to challenge the industry status quo. Pulling experience from all different areas—from design and production to sales and distribution—each member played a key role in the company’s inception. A year later in 2014 Harding was born. Based in Uri, Switzerland, the home of the fearless marksman William Tell, Harding prides itself on bold designs that aim to thrill. That approach is visible in the company’s shield: a lively bull with widespread horns.
