The story
Bishop Milton Wright brought home a Penaud toy helicopter for his sons. Wilbur and Orville remembered it as the thing that first stirred their interest in flight.
Turn The Bishop over and the helicopter is there, etched into the numbered caseback. It is a reminder that a lasting achievement can begin with an ordinary act of curiosity.
The Wright family saw our watches at an airshow and invited us to make the next series bearing their name. We made The Bishop to honor the start of the story, with the family's invitation at the center of our own.
