The Espresso Chronograph Timer was recognized for its exploration of timing, ritual, and industrial design through the framework of a modern chronograph. Designed by Brew founder Jonathan Ferrer, the concept draws inspiration from espresso preparation and café culture—an influence that has shaped the New York-based brand since its founding in 2015. Brew’s watches have become known for incorporating visual cues drawn from espresso machines, industrial equipment, and the ritual of the coffee break.
The award adds to Brew’s growing reputation within the independent watch space, where the brand has built a following through its distinctive design language and compact chronograph offerings. The brand’s recognition by the Red Dot jury underscores the continued relevance of industrial design and everyday ritual as sources of inspiration in contemporary watchmaking.
