When the Worlds of Swiss Vintage Watches and American Motorcycles Merge
What Lebois & Co does with watches is not too different from what Indian Motorcycle have done with their Sport Chief: reviving heritage classics using contemporary technology. This is how the Lebois & Co x Indian Motorcycle collaboration took off.
Indian Motorcycle’s latest model is based on their iconic Chief, first released in 1921. Celebrating the 2023 introduction of the Sport Chief, and rewarding fans of refined classic quality, Indian Motorcycle have banded up with Lebois & Co. Much like Indian Motorcycle’s reissue, our Heritage Chronograph’s design draws inspiration from its line of predecessors, as an ode to Lebois & Co’s vintage essence.
The final design is a reflection of the Chief’s legacy and sleek, vintage looks, within the parameters of the Heritage Chronograph.
