Lacité

Founded by Olivier (art director) and Frédéric (entrepreneur) in Montréal, Lacité makes watches for global travelers who want understated urban aesthetics. Their debut Urbanite GMT pairs a Miyota 9075 true GMT movement with a clean textured dial, hand-assembled in Montréal and rated to 100m. Priced from US$699 and available in multiple colourways, it stands out as a rare Canadian entry-level true GMT from an independent brand.
