Chronopolis, The MHD Type 2 Celebrates Motoring of the Roaring '20s

In Europe, we often call the 1920s the Golden Twenties. It was an exciting period that followed the butchery of World War 1. The economy was booming and the West was making the most of its increased wealth. It was a time of innovation and experimentation, with art, music and literature all flourishing. MHD watches Funder Matthew Humphries is inspired by this golden age of motoring and the Type 2 is his homage to the cars of the era.

Chronopolis, MHD Streamliner - Stunning British Designed Automatic Watch

You're not shopping for an MHD watch because you like wearing the same watch as your friends. You're here because Matthew was Head of Design at the Morgan Motor Company at 21. He's taken his talent for design and his experience with sports cars and applied that to watches.

Worn and Wound Hands-On With The MHD Watches Streamline

MHD Watches are the brainchild of car designer Matthew Humphries. Getting his start in the world of automotive design (like, real deal, cars-driving-on-the-road auto design), he turned his car-inspired design eye towards another passion — watches. After seeing his Morgan Aeromax, Supersports, and 3 wheeler on the road, it was time to pay some attention to his wrist. The automotive world and the watch world have always been close, with a lot of interest spanning the two hobbies. From timing races with an old chronograph to dedicated driving watches with tilted dials, the DNA between the machines you drive and their smaller wrist-worn counterparts runs deep.

The MHD Streamliner,

British watchmakers are some of the finest in the world and, if you like your timepieces to boast an automotive aesthetic, MHD are a brand that need to be on your radar. Their latest release, the Streamliner, is one of their most visually impactful and top performing to date and if you want to add a high quality new timepiece to your lineup in time for Christmas, this would definitely be a top pick of ours here at The Coolector.

"The best example of Humphries’ ethos is the MHD AGT Automatic. Like an engine supported in a chassis, the main body of the watch is surrounded by a stainless steel exoskeleton, which defines its retro, lozenge-shaped silhouette."
