Independent brand founded in Bristol by furniture designer and collector Charlie Fowler, who designs the cases, dials and hands (numerals by typographer Gareth Hague) and uses Japanese automatic movements. The debut Model One was crowdfunded on Kickstarter (it passed its goal in under a week, per Worn & Wound); the current range is the Model Two and Model Three (diver, dual time and special editions). Sold direct in GBP. Founding year not stated. Product pages show the GBP price with no VAT wording, and the store data marks the current watch listings as not taxable, so no VAT is added at checkout: the listed price is what a UK buyer pays (checked 2026-10-31); buyers abroad pay their own import VAT and duties, per the shipping page.
