Churchill, Darin, and King Edward IV’s watches were all made by Dent, the same company that built Big Ben. A Dent timepiece was actually Churchill’s first watch. The horologists at Crown and Caliber agree: Dent’s new watches, the Dent Ministry Evolution and Dent Ministry Chronographs, are things of beauty.

Elegant and sophisticated, the Dent Ministry Chronograph comes in several different styles. Above is the 18k rose gold variant, clocking in at $27,600. The platinum version retails for an even greater price and sports a black dial:

The Dent brand’s history is rich, and it continues to make a name for itself today. In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh unveiled the new Dent platform clock at St. Pancras International Station, further engraining Dent’s history as a chief London architect.
