01 · The story

Westlake:
A Brief History

Westlake's been an Austin neighborhood since the early 1900s. First a remote farming community, then incorporated in '53, and now one of the most quietly affluent corners of the city.

Hill country views. Careful development. A separateness from downtown that locals fiercely protect.

That's the energy we wanted in this watch. Quiet, considered, built for the moments that matter without asking for attention.

02 · Colorways

Three colorways.
Three different paces.

Each is named for an Austin moment. Pick the one that fits the day you have planned.

03 · Brunch Blue

Brunch Blue

Ice blue is an easy colour to make cold. This one leans warm, the sky over Swedish Hill before the coffee lands, and the blued steel hands sit on it like they were always there.

Wears with a white shirt, wears with a linen one. The one you reach for when the day has no plan.

Steel case, DLC coated for scratch resistance.

07 · The shop

Made in Austin

I've had a lifelong love affair with mechanical watches. From my first watch at age 8 to inheriting my grandfather's old Wyler from my mother, they've always been central to my life.

Every DuFrane is built by hand in my Austin shop. I regulate each movement. I test every piece.
