Our watches run on good quality Swiss movements from La Joux-Perret G101, Sellita and ETA, chosen by us for their adaptability, reliability and ease of service. We receive them at our Glasgow workshop, where they are modified to our needs, regulated and assembled into cased-up watches.

The A1, using the La Joux-Perret G101, is our first fully decorated movement. A collaboration with Glasgow-based artist Rachel Duckhouse, the project took five years of development and tested the capabilities of some of the industry's most advanced Swiss suppliers. Learn more about the process here.

Regardless of movement, each watch is carefully hand-assembled by one of our six in-house watchmakers. We begin by testing the movement, never assuming it will run perfectly just because it is new. Before assembly, the amplitude – the swinging rate of the balance wheel – is checked with our timegraph to ensure utmost accuracy.

Owing to the additional depth of enamel dials, sometimes it is necessary to change certain wheels of the movement to allow the hands to flow freely across the dial without catching on the enamel.

The amplitude is checked again before attaching the dial, which is also thoroughly inspected. Because it is made entirely by hand, small tweaks may be necessary to ensure the best possible fit.

Our watch hands are thermally treated to specific colours, so they require inspection for blemishes and consistency before assembly.

Once assembled, every watch is regulated to suit the wearer. We consider wrist preference, daily activity and storage to provide optimum accuracy.
