Championing Independent Watchmaking since 2002.

I believe artisanal independent watchmaking is a noble pursuit—one worthy of understanding, preserving, and supporting.

For more than two decades, I have immersed myself in this small and remarkable world, building personal relationships with the watchmakers who create these extraordinary mechanical works by hand. My role is not simply to present watches, but to make the human connection: to introduce collectors to the watchmakers, their philosophy and their craft, and ultimately to help find the maker—and the timepiece—that is most compelling to them.

Independent in Time is proud to be an Authorized Dealer for a select group of artisanal independent watchmakers. Beyond those represented here, I have relationships with many others, cultivated over more than 24 years in the field.

Above all, I remain committed to championing this rare, micro-mechanical horological art form and the individuals who devote their lives to creating it.

The Independent Watchmaking journey is one of constant discovery and learning—a path less travelled, perhaps, but one I believe is well worth taking.

It takes enormous discipline, courage and dedication to become an independent watchmaker. In today’s increasingly homogenized watch world, I find it compelling that these individuals have chosen a different path: one that allows them to pursue their own ideas, develop their own distinctive language and express themselves through this extraordinary form of micro-mechanical horological art.

And how remarkable is it to be able to own a timepiece created by a living master watchmaker? Better still, to have the opportunity to know that watchmaker and, through that relationship, gain a deeper understanding of why they create the watches they do. That human connection adds another dimension to collecting—one that goes far beyond simply owning the object.

It is my pleasure and honour to represent these watchmakers, to share their stories and their work, and occasionally to offer a little of my own commentary along the way. I have spent more than 25 years travelling alongside many of them on their respective journeys, and have come to realize that this path often leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of horology, horological enlightenment perhaps!

I invite you to spend some time getting to know them. You may find the journey as compelling as I have.
