Here at The Coolector, we have a soft spot for watches that don’t just keep time but tell a story—and the Bernhardt Watch Company Tempest Watch ($849) does precisely that. Inspired by the untamed beauty of nature, the Tempest is part of Bernhardt’s Horizon Collection and captures the chaos and majesty of a stormy night sky. This timepiece brings a thunderous personality to your wrist, complete with a forged carbon dial that ensures no two Tempests are alike. It’s bold, it’s dramatic, and it’s ready for any adventure you throw at it.
The forged carbon dial is the Tempest’s centrepiece, and it’s like looking into a storm—dark, swirling textures reminiscent of storm clouds contrast against the lightning-yellow lume accents that flash like bursts of lightning across the night sky. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a work of art that captures the raw power of the elements. Adding to its rugged elegance is the Titanium Carbide PVD-coated case, with recessed sides and polished chamfers that lend the watch a sharp, refined edge. This is the kind of watch that demands attention and exudes character.
Under the hood, the Tempest is powered by a modified Miyota 9132 automatic movement, known for its precision and dependability. What makes this movement even more special is the custom PVD Bernhardt rotor, visible through the sapphire display caseback. Watching the movement in action is a treat for any watch enthusiast, adding to the overall allure of this impressive timepiece. And with a precision of +/- 5 seconds per day, you can count on the Tempest to stay as accurate as it is stylish.
Functionality is key with any Bernhardt watch, and the Tempest is no exception. The double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures you get a clear view of the striking forged carbon dial at any angle, while the Super-Luminova A-BGW9, X1-GL-Gray, and X1-Yellow lume accents make it easy to read in low-light conditions. The custom rotating day/night 24-hour indicator is a unique feature that gives the Tempest an additional layer of functionality, perfect for those who love to stay on top of their adventure schedule.
The Tempest comes with two strap options—a double-layered suede strap that offers a touch of rugged sophistication, and a high-performance silicone rally strap that’s ready for action. Both are designed to complement the watch’s adventurous spirit and ensure it’s as comfortable as it is striking. The 39mm Titanium Carbide PVD case is water-resistant to 100 meters, meaning the Tempest is built to withstand whatever challenges come your way—whether it’s a literal storm or just a tough day at the office.
In short, the Bernhardt Tempest is a timepiece for those who love adventure, both in design and spirit. It’s assembled, tested, and regulated in the USA, and comes with a 2-year warranty—so you can be confident that your wrist will weather any storm in style. And don’t forget the release special: for the first 72 hours, the Tempest is available at a discounted price of $720, making it the perfect opportunity to snag this standout piece at a fantastic value.
