Featured moment
A timepiece to recognize a mentor and friend.
Commissioned by friends and colleagues, this timepiece was created to honour Stephanie’s lasting impact on those around her and the many people she has helped to grow and succeed.
It was presented to her at a conference as a personal expression of their gratitude, admiration and appreciation.
The Design
A custom dial made to capture her style, her character, her love of purple.
The Details
Details that carry meaning for her engraved into the movement and visible behind a glass case back.
The Presentation
An engraved card, written by her colleagues, explaining why this watch was created for her.
How does it work?
Begin with the story
Every commission starts with a conversation. We learn about the person, occasion and meaning behind the watch, along with their personal style and the details you hope to capture.
Design it together
We guide you through the possibilities - from the dial, case and movement to personalized engravings and subtle details. You will review the design and approve the direction before production begins.
We bring it to life
Your timepiece is carefully assembled, inspected and prepared for its final presentation. Each watch is delivered with a personalized story card that brings the meaning behind the design to life.
You do not need to know anything about watches or arrive with a finished idea for this process.
Simply begin with the story, and we will guide you through the rest.
More than a gift, we build you a piece of art.
"Together, we can create a one-of-one timepiece inspired by the person, milestone, or team you're celebrating. As a watch designer, my greatest privilege is helping people create something they will wear for decades,carrying those moments with them every day."
