Inspired by aviation, this watch is designed with the spirit of aviation pioneers in mind. The watch draws it´s name from the year 1919 when the Danish pilot Cecil Torben Faber took off from Reykjavik in the Air Iceland´s Avro-504.

The site Faber chose for his take of is the exact site the British air force later selected as the perfect area for Reykjavik International Airport and the cities local airport is still located there today, it is a point of interest that when the pilot had chosen the field, Air Iceland had to have permission from the Reykjavik council to use it for the take of and landing. The location of the airport area 101, the year of the first flight 1919 and the city Reykjavik all appear on the dial.

Air Iceland was founded by a group of prominent local business men convinced that aviation was the transport of the future, now 87 years later when this watch is introduced one of the JS Watch co. founders Julius Steinar Heidarsson flies for Air Iceland.
