Charriol x Cynthia Rowley launch Limited-Edition Surf Navigator Watch

The heritage watch and jewellery brand and fashion designer have teamed up for a Surf Navigator limited edition with 10% of proceeds being donated to an ocean-related cause. The 36mm automatic Swiss-made watch was designed for the modern globe-trotter with an adventurous lifestyle.

EO and Creative Director, Coralie Charriol, and Cynthia Rowley came together for the collaboration over their shared passion for surfing.

“I met Cynthia last summer at Charriol’s 40th anniversary party and realised how much we have in common. I’ve always adored the brand, as well in East Hampton and as her Surf & Swim collection, and thought it would be fun to put some of her iconic surfboard on the dial of Charriol’s Surf Navigator watch that we launched last year”, says Coralie Charriol.

“I approached Cynthia with the idea of a Surf watch collaboration because I know her connection to the ocean and surfing is just as powerful as mine, and we are both women who’ve designed products specifically for the sport for our respective brands."

The 36mm Swiss-made Surf Navigator watch with automatic movement was designed by Charriol for the modern globe-trotter with an adventurous lifestyle.

The Charriol X Cynthia Rowley special-edition collection is available in two Cynthia Rowley prints that adorn Rowley’s made-for-surfing swimwear and surfboards, the Shark Deterrent print and a new summer floral, and mounted on Charriol’s black rubber diver’s strap.

Design features include the lightning bolt seconds hand, a personal effect borrowed from the design on Coralie’s own adventure vehicle of choice, her beloved surfboard.

The watch is water resistant to 300 ft. “The Charriol Surf Navigation Watch is the perfect culmination of our brand ethos pretty-meets-sporty & fashion-meets-function. It’s been a dream to collaborate with Coralie on such a luxury heritage product,” says Cynthia Rowley.

The watches, retailing at 2250 CHF, are available for sale at Cynthia Rowley’s Sag Harbour and Montauk boutiques, as well as both companies’ websites.
