Magretteを探る

Magrette draws deeply from its New Zealand roots, blending Pacific inspiration with a straightforward approach to watchmaking. Founded in Auckland by Dion McAsey, the brand quickly found its voice with models like the Regattare, which showcased bold case shapes and a relaxed, adventure-ready attitude. Magrette’s watches reflect the laid-back yet purposeful character of their homeland, balancing practicality with distinctive styling cues.

Finishing and materials are carefully chosen—bronze cases on the Regattare Bronze develop unique patinas, while the Moana Pacific Diver combines vintage cues with modern build quality. Dials often feature Maori-inspired motifs, adding cultural depth without veering into pastiche. Reliable automatic movements, sapphire crystals, and limited production runs underscore a commitment to value and individuality rather than mass-market trends.

Collectors appreciate Magrette for its transparent pricing, strong community engagement, and the sense of connection to New Zealand’s landscape and traditions. Limited editions are released in small batches, and models like the Dual Time and Regattare Chronograph offer practical complications without unnecessary flash. Magrette’s appeal lies in honest design, thoughtful details, and a genuine sense of place.
