Always Limited

We pride ourselves on being unique, always striving for new ideas and designs.

Making watches with shapes and lines that have never been seen before is an intriguing process, balancing the fine line between progressive and classic.

Designing an E.C.A. model takes hundreds of work hours and dozens of choices between finished models until we decide that next one. This process is our passion, and therefore, all of our models are limited to a small number of maximum 250 pieces, which means you’ll always be among the lucky few to own one particular model
