What to expect

You will be met by our master watch builder from our workshop in St Andrews for a warm welcome. Local whisky, beer and wine is the order of the day along with fresh local fruit and Scottish tablet.

We will begin by sharing the history of local watch manufacturing and the story of our brand to help give you inspiration for the build of your own timepiece.

You will then be guided through our range of components, beginning with the options of case designs, to determine what best suits your style and needs.

Once the watch case has been selected we move onto our vast range of straps, available in leathers, cashmere and wool by Scotland’s Johnston's of Elgin, as well as authentic Harris Tweed options.

Next the master watch builder will guide you through the assembly of your chosen components to create your finished wristwatch.

Finally, you can further personalise your watch with a bespoke engraving. Adding text or even a handwritten message to the case back. You will operate the engraving machine and watch your timepiece come to life.

And there you have it, a unique watch designed & made by you to keep forever.
