WatchMeditation

bring your Zen into watchmaking

A passion for horology

I live with watches. I dream of movements. And I try to think like a chess player.

The Magic of Mechanics

Tiny wheels, springs, escapement and other parts that are ready to serve your needs.

The Power of Engineering

Thousands of hours at the drawing board. And thousands more in the workshop.

The Mesmerizing Beauty

Beautifully designed parts and cases. The variations are endless. Just to find the way into your heart.

An array of knowledge

In these times, it is easy to find information and deepen one’s understanding of the history of horology. One may read of the great masters who came before, and uncover stories of true wonder. There are old books that light the path of how this craft came to be — and there are new books that guide the way through horology as it is practiced today.
