The B/1M is a continuation of the brutalist design language established with Toledano & Chans’ first watch, the B/1.
The Toledano & Chan B/1 meteorite draws its inspiration from the angular lines of brutalist architecture, in particular the windows of the Marcel Breuer Whitney Museum in Midtown New York City.
The B/1 meteorite is a prototype, and as the name would suggest, is made primarily of meteorite – the case, dial and lugs – while the strap is crafted from ostrich leg skin. The caseback and crown are made from sandblasted stainless steel, and the handset from DLC-coated stainless steel.
Toledano & Chan was first established in 2021, a partnership between watch enthusiasts with artistic pursuits in their own right, Phillip Toledano and Alfred Chan. The first B/1 wristwatch was released in May 2024 to widespread delight, selling out within 45 minutes.
Phillip Toledano is a widely exhibited conceptual artist, with seven published books to his name, and an entrepreneur. Alfred Chan has been designing watches for over a decade, working for Japanese, European and American brands.
