An Indiana-assembled Purdue watch, made to be handed down

The Hanoverian Purdue Boilermaker Special Edition is an automatic watch assembled in Indiana for Boilermakers who want their Purdue pride on their wrist every day, not just on game day. This configuration is limited to 50 pieces, part of an initial run of 100 across both colorways. Backorders available.

Old Gold, black, and Boilermaker detail

This edition carries everything that makes the Fleddermann von Rieste Hanoverian a dependable everyday companion, dressed in Old Gold and black in tribute to Purdue. The black dial is anchored by the Purdue Motion P®, with an hour indice at twelve shaped like the cowcatcher of a steam locomotive, a nod to the legendary Boilermaker Special. Marking the seconds is a hand modeled after Purdue Pete’s sledgehammer, moving steadily around the dial. Inside, a regulated Miyota 9015 automatic movement runs to a target of ±5 seconds per day with a 42-hour power reserve.

The Hoosier Heritage caseback

Turn it over and you’ll find our Hoosier Heritage caseback: an Indiana agriculture scene with the Motion P® engraved on a barn roof, honoring both Purdue’s agricultural legacy and the great Hoosier tradition of intricate shingle work on barn roofs.

Built in Indiana for the long haul

Assembled in Indiana and built to be lived in, the Hanoverian is our take on the timeless tool watch, rugged enough for the day-to-day, refined enough to mean something. It makes a Purdue graduation gift that outlasts the frame on the wall, and an alumni keepsake worth the shelf space it will never see. It may not be your grandfather’s watch, but with time, we hope it becomes your grandson’s.

Each watch arrives in a leatherette travel case and is backed by a two-year warranty.
