New watch brand Xetum has just gone live and presents two models to start - the Tyndall and Stinson watch lines. Both timepieces share a 40mm wide steel case with a combination of brushed and polished finishing. Various dial colors are available. The large crown is crafted to resemble the hexagonal logo of the brand (you can see it in green on the dial). Pictured is the Tyndall watch, featuring Xetum's brand of "accessible modern design." The watch features an automatic ETA 2895-2 movement visible through the caseback window. The dial is clean and legible without having the overly sparse look that many minimalist watches have.

Both of the watches also feature a lugless case design. Meaning that the leather strap is fitted directly into the case for a cleaner, more seamless look. The second model is the Xetum Stinson. Both the Stinson and Tyndall watches are named after places in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Xetum is located - though the watches are all Swiss made. The Stinson model is equipped with an ETA 2824-2 automatic movement and has a centrally mounted seconds hand versus a subsidiary seconds dial as seen in the Tyndall model. Prices for the watches range from $995 to $1,395, and are available direct from Xetum's website.
