Clocktower Luminous
Available to preorder now, shipping early April 2026.
The Clocktower Luminous is a mechanical 3 hand dress watch based on classic British Gothic clocktowers. Housed in a 316L stainless steel case with 3D clocktower details. It features a full luminous dial with C3 Superluminova. Which delivers a green glow when the lights go out.
The Clocktower has a unique case design with flowers, diamonds, and arrow tips etched into each corner of the case. Pillars line the top and bottom of the case featuring etched arches for that authentic Gothic look. And a signed crown? Of course. As Area Nostalgia doesn't have an icon logo we've taken the flower from the case detail and etched it onto the crown - linking the case and crown together.
At 30mm in size, with a compact lug to lug of just 39mm, it wears elegantly on almost any wrist size. The Clocktower is just 9mm thick thanks to the use of a hand-wound movement, and the 20mm lug width means you can have endless fun with both the supplied and aftermarket straps. The Clocktower was designed to be a strap monster - so let loose and go crazy.

Luminous Dial
The Clocktower Luminous features a full covering of C3 Superluminova across the whole dial surface. There's then a thin layer of lacquer applied on top to give the dial a glossy finish. This was actually the first dial designed for the Clocktower range. Throughout the day the dial looks white with a slight green hue. However when the lights go out - you're met with a glowing green dial.
First Edition
The Clocktower is a watch that I want to make for the next 30 years - but these are the only models that will ever say first edition. Each watch will be numbered 1/100 on the caseback where it currently says 'First Edition'. So if this watch becomes a future classic - you'll own one of the first ones ever made.
Clocktower Case
The star of the show is, of course, the beautifully detailed case. The flowers, arrow tips and arches are taken from both the Manchester town hall clock and Manchester cathedral clocktower. This detailing is deep, with polishing on the upper surface and a matte finish below for ultimate contrast.
