The Slowhand
Eric Clapton earned the nickname Slowhand early in his career, after a now-famous onstage ritual. When he broke a string mid-performance, he would stay on stage and calmly replace it, prompting the crowd to start a rhythmic, slow hand clap that would build to cheers when the string was finally replaced. That moment of dry British humor led to a name that stuck. This watch draws from the spirit of his most iconic guitar — a custom Stratocaster built from his favorite vintage parts and played across decades of legendary shows. The dial design blends warm tones with crisp, balanced detailing. Slowhand is built for those who know exactly what they’re aiming for.

Vintage-Inspired Color
Slowhand combines classic tones with modern functionality. The matte black dial is paired with a warm cream GMT track, giving the watch a vintage feel with a contemporary edge. Bold, luminous hands ensure legibility, while the yellow second hand and orange arrow tipped GMT hand bring a hint of energy to the otherwise understated palette. A polished case and black leather strap with contrast stitching complete the look, offering a balance of precision, presence, and everyday wearability.
