There are watches you wear for a season. And there are watches that stay forever. The Lotus Old Money collection is one of those you know will age well from the very first moment you see them. Or so you thought, until you start looking at the details and discover that the entire collection plays in that league: the league of what remains.
Lotus has been doing this for almost a hundred years. They were born in 1925, and since then they have manufactured watches that pass from fathers to sons. The Old Money series is the latest stop on that journey.
This is Lotus Old Money
If you get close to a Lotus Old Money, the first thing you notice is that it doesn’t need to scream for attention. It’s simply there. And when you look closer, you begin to understand why.
Round cases and restrained size
The collection bets on the classic. Round stainless steel cases with restrained diameters, the kind that slide discreetly under a shirt cuff. They are available in silver finish and also with gold plating, for those seeking a warm touch without ostentation.
Clean and legible dials
Lotus has taken care of the dial. Arabic numerals on some models, indices on others. But always with that vocation of being legible at a glance. What matters here is the time, and it shows.
All of them are protected with mineral crystal, the kind that handles daily life without complications.
Two lives: steel or leather
The interesting thing about Old Money is that you can choose the personality you like best. There are those with a steel bracelet, the kind that sound solid when closed, with a deployment clasp so they don’t move from the wrist. And there are those with a leather strap, which give it that more serene, afternoon, Sunday air.
Two ways of living the same watch. You choose.
With date and no complications
Most models incorporate a calendar window. That detail you appreciate when you live in a hurry and need to know the date without taking out your phone.
And they run on a quartz movement. No maintenance or complications. Battery and go. Because some prefer precision without overthinking it.
For the everyday
They withstand 5 atmospheres. Enough for washing your hands, getting caught in a downpour, or living life without worrying if you’ve gotten too close to water. It’s not a diving watch; it’s a living watch.
The collaboration with Susana Bicho
And in this collection, Susana Bicho appears. The influencer, content creator, and entrepreneur—founder of Womo and Momo Studio, and host of the podcast “La sobremesa”—has set her sights on Old Money. Not to redesign them, but to tell their story. To bring them closer to those who perhaps didn’t know that a Lotus could also be theirs.
She, who has already been an ambassador for brands like Springfield, understands connecting. Knowing what story to tell. And with Lotus, the story was clear: that of a long-standing Spanish watchmaker that continues to do things as always, but reaching those it didn’t reach before.
Susana has provided her face and her judgment. Lotus has provided tradition and a catalog that has been doing it right for almost a century. The result is an alliance that speaks of the same thing: elegance without posturing, well-made things that last.
A Spanish classic
The Lotus Old Money collection is just that: a handful of watches that understand the classic without being boring. They live with you in your daily life and, in a few years, they will still be there. With just the right marks, with that soft glow that comes from use, with the same strap or another one you put on it.
Susana Bicho saw it clearly. And now, when you see one, you might think of her. Or you might think of yourself. About how a watch can be just a watch, or it can be something more.
As someone once said: classics never go out of style. They just wait for you to discover them.
