The Visionaries project was paralleled with BREDA's collection, Phase. The watch receiving its name from the meticulously embossed quarter phases on the dial, Phase was purposefully crafted to evoke luxury. BREDA spent over a year on research and development to design the watch. We designated the name Phase to allude to a new era for the brand and hope to provide the same inspiration to those who wear the watch.
Inspiring creators and building a collaborative community are at the core of our mission and because this is an evolution for BREDA, we wanted to reach local creatives and start a dialogue about the different phases of creative careers and lifestyles.
