SECURE A BUILD SLOT

All our watches are made by hand, here in our Glasgow workshop. The techniques our small team employ are highly skilled and time-intensive, and enamelling is no exception. Our commitment to doing things properly, and charging fairly for it, has resulted in greater demand than we can supply. Since 2021 we’ve operated a first-come-first-served waiting list for our enamel watches, and have found this the best overall system.

You can secure a future production slot by paying a non-refundable reservation fee, which is deducted from the final price of your watch. The reservation is for building a watch, rather than a specific model, as there will be more to choose from when your slot comes up. We will also endeavour to keep our existing models available in future: for more information on availability see our core models page.

As your slot approaches, we'll invite you to confirm your model and specifications, and pay the remaining balance, guided by our team throughout. Please note, build slots are not currently required for our porcelain pieces.

The Model 3 Method – a collaboration with artisan cabinet makers Method Studio – is our most technically ambitious project to date. Starting life as a carved block of ash, we've translated the texture into enamel through a combination of technology and traditional craft.

The organic texture lends itself very well to blue and green-hued enamels. We tested over ten different shades to find the ones that worked best with the texture and finish of the silver, finally landing on two colours – the vibrant Aqua and tranquil Lichen.

The design of the Model 3 is designed to accentuate the enamel dial. The case features a sleek bezel, slim profile, and trench-style lugs. The hands, inspired by vintage compass needles, are heat-treated in-house.

The rippling texture of the Model 3 Method dial started life as a block of ash, hand-carved to create a unique and organic texture. Through an advanced 3D scanning process, we translated the wooden texture to a CAD model.

The 3D model of the texture is scaled down and engraved into a die, which is then used to individually hand-stamp each silver dial blank.

Enamel is ground into a powder and applied to the dial blank with a paintbrush, layer by layer, before being fired in a kiln.
