About us
We make statement watches that tell a story, start a conversation or simply make you smile.
We’re a small passionate team working hard to bring you unforgettable watches.
Today, everyone checks their mobile phone to see the time, liberating watches from being a purely functional object, meaning we can be a bit more playful with it!
We’re not interested in producing something that looks like a Rolex, nor will we ever be (Rolex already do that job rather well in our opinion!).
Instead, we’re focused on producing a beautiful, distinctive piece of artwork that you can wear with a sense of pride.
We work with talented illustrators and designers from all over the world to design your watches.
