With a rich history of craftsmanship and innovation, Belfast stands as a testament to the spirit of shipbuilding strength and industrial triumph. The iconic Samson & Goliath cranes dominate the city’s skyline as a symbol of shipbuilding strength and industrial triumph. The shipyard where they stand, Harland and Wolff, is best known for its 401st ship, the RMS Titanic, and its first-class passenger tender, the SS Nomadic.
Designed by Thomas Andrews, the SS Nomadic is a remarkable ship, known for being the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world. Despite being a quarter of the size of its infamous sister, the Titanic, the Nomadic has left an indelible mark on history. After faithfully ferrying passengers to the world's largest transatlantic liners and serving in both World Wars, the Nomadic found a new life as a restaurant and party venue, moored beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Today, meticulously restored, it has returned to its birthplace in Belfast's Hamilton Dock.
Inspired by the rich history of shipbuilding, the collection of dive watches was named Maraí 401. The word means 'seafarer' in Irish, while the number pays homage to the production name of the Titanic. With a 40mm case, a water resistance of 660ft, and a Swiss mechanical movement, Maraí 401 beautifully reflects the remarkable engineering achievements of Belfast. The distinctive yellow sweeping second hand serves as a modest tribute to the iconic cranes.
Beyond its connection to the SS Nomadic, the name "Nomadic" carries a deeper meaning. It represents the desire of the brand and its patrons to continually strive for progress, both as a company and as purpose-driven individuals. Just as being nomadic means moving from place to place, Nomadic believes in perpetual movement, growth, and exploration. By experiencing different cultures and perspectives, people become more understanding and thrive by making the most of every second they have.
As a brand born in Belfast, Nomadic is dedicated to creating adventure-proof watches with Swiss mechanical movements that are powered entirely by the movement of your wrist. The spirit of exploration and resilience ingrained in Belfast's heritage is deeply intertwined with every timepiece they create. Whether you're diving into the depths of the ocean or embarking on an expedition on land, the watches will be your reliable companion, ensuring accuracy, durability, and style.
With its exceptional craftsmanship, Swiss mechanical movement and design inspired by Belfast's greatest engineering feats, this timepiece embodies both heritage and innovation. As we embrace the spirit of progress and constant movement, Nomadic encourages us to make the most of every second and embark on our own adventures, wherever they may lead.
