BESPOKE TIMEPIECES
Designed for on duty durability, perfect for off duty style.
Our mission is to create reliable and durable timepieces that handle the daily challenges that police officers, first responders, emergency & military personnel face. Our timepieces are crafted using only the highest quality components available to ensure continued reliability when you need it most. Reliable timekeeping is essential during critical incidents and investigations, and our watches deliver unwavering performance.
We want to create a timepiece that’s unique to you and honors your service and dedication to duty. We offer custom dial options that can include your regimental/badge number and agency name or logo in several styles. You have the option to truly customize your watch to create it into something you will want to pass down to the next generation. Additional options include case style and colours, hand styles, and strap colour, which can make a truly custom watch.
In the age of smart watches, we offer a trusted and reliable alternative. Automatic watches offer exceptional reliability and will not leave you stranded during critical moments. An automatic movement winds with the kinetic power of your movement, so it will always be ready to go when you need it, offering reliability for decades, not months. Not needing to charge your watch means uninterrupted operation during extended shifts, or when power sources are unavailable analog reliability becomes a tactical necessity.
Sapphire crystal is both scratch & impact resistant and offers exceptional legibility in extreme weather conditions when it matters most, and the durability needed to withstand rugged conditions.
Automatic Watch vs a Smartwatch
While the modern smartwatch has many features that make it a very convenient accessory to your every day life, they come with limitations.
Tactical Considerations
The smartwatch has a limited battery life and must be charged consistently for regular use. This makes wearing one for extended periods, such as extended shifts or longer operations a liability. A mechanical watch is wound by your movement and does not need to be recharged while being worn, making it a more reliable timekeeping option on extended missions, or the unexpected emergency that extends your shift.
A smartwatch screen is incredibly bright, and can be seen in the dark under night vision from more then 100 meters. When your mission or your job requires you to be able to move in the dark without being spotted then the smart watch is a massive liability. A classic automatic watch is far more discreet and harder to detect while providing the ability to still read the time. Swiss BGW9 lume is bright enough to be easily read by the wearer, but subtle enough to not be spotted by night vision.
The manufacturing process of a custom watch is complex and requires great attention to detail. First, the basic watch style must be chosen, along with the parts that are used to customize the design. Modifications can include changes to dials, bezels, bracelets, crowns, and even movements.
The movement is the heart of the watch, and we primarily use Seiko NH movements for their durability & built-in anti-shock capabilities, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily wear. The Seiko® NH35 movement is a mechanical movement built for reliability, servicability, and value. Its robust and can run for decades which is why its respected around the world. With automatic winding capabilities, ensuring accuracy and precision in timekeeping it boasts a 41-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The NH35 movement also features a hacking seconds function, allowing you to synchronize the time accurately.
We can also use the Selitta SW200 movement, renowned for its Swiss quality and its 28,800bph, giving the second hand that unmistakable sweep across the dial. As one of the most utilized Swiss movements globally, the Sellita SW200-1 is the epitome of a Swiss mechanical movement workhorse. Using this movement comes with an additional cost for your watch, so please speak with us to discuss options and pricing.
By combining trusted quality and reliability with your personal style we will create a timepiece for your that is build to last.
