I Handcraft Watches That Tell Your Story (12 Pics)

Clients come to me when they want the ultimate personalized timepiece. I handcraft custom watch cases and leather straps that tell stories using wood, resin, and exotic materials. Over the years, I've put some wild items into watches, such as cremated ashes, shredded money, cigars, carbon fiber, photos, wedding dresses, flowers, and diamonds.
The majority of the work is done in-house. I started hand-turning the first 119 watches before investing in a CNC machine. Maker Watch Company has been my total commitment for the last 5 years.
Our shop was run in my grandfather's basement for the first 4 years. At the end of 2021, we finally moved into our first commercial space in Oakville, Ontario.
Grateful to be making art that's functional and personal.
