No previous experience in the above tasks is necessary, as full training will be provided. However, a background in jewellery making, metalwork or another hands-on craft is essential.

Has a minimum of one year’s bench experience, or experience in another hands-on craft

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.
