From The Work Bench.


A working day for us is somewhat different than most. I suppose if you are lucky enough to have a job as a watchmaker you are already guaranteed a different type of working day. Watchmaking by hand is such an art-form these days. There are very few watchmakers in this country practising the fine art of horology.
Working with time and being the one who gives people that bit of luxury with it is quite an honour. 
We could easily take for granted how easy it is to know the time and even read a clock. We all know that feeling when we have forgotten to put our watches on; you can spend the whole day feeling late or lost. Having time so close and so accessible is indeed a luxury. 
We should never think about running out of time. It is always there, we must simply make sure we use it to the best of our ability. 



When making a time piece, we have to seriously consider what the point of it is. If we are getting that wrong, then we get it all wrong. Our watches are there to tell the time and to give you that luxury of knowing, of seeing and of being part of time as it passes. 
 We try, with all our watches, to make them precisely on time so that the wearer has always got the time to do what they want. That is what it is all about. Having the time to explore, have fun, live even, and all this we put down to actually having enough time to do it. 




At Pinchbeck HQ building each watch is an event. Starting from the very beginning every part is put together to form an object that works, that has a purpose, and it is this that we are most proud of. The timepieces that are created offer so much more than just telling the time, they mark occasions, they give you moments to treasure and most of all they stop you from losing what we all want and need; time.
