The first editions
Longitude
Expected price £1,495
A regulator for the Longitude Act of 1714. Celebrating the moment Britain put a prize on measuring time at sea, which led to John Harrison's marine timekeepers.
Exchange
Expected price £995
The watch that keeps Bristol time. Bristol sits 2°35′ west of Greenwich, so the sun reaches noon there about ten minutes after London. When the railways brought London time west, Bristol kept its own, and the clock on the Corn Exchange was given a second minute hand so the city could read both.
Atlântico
Expected price £1,150
Lisbon and Rio on one dial. Celebrating the Atlantic crossing between Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro. The main hands keep home time and a gilt GMT hand tracks the other side of the ocean.
THE EDITION
99 numbered pieces, never remade. Each edition celebrates a place, a pastime or an occasion, is made in 99 numbered pieces, and is never remade.
THE ATELIER
One to three unique watches per edition with a hand-made dial, made to order. Hand-assembled in Bristol on proven Seiko automatic movements.
THE THEME
The theme changes the watch: a complication or dial that only makes sense for this subject.
THE DETAIL
One hidden detail that only the owner finds. The movement bridge is engraved with the coordinates of the Royal Observatory and the edition number.
Hagora Workshop
Hand-assembled in Bristol on proven Seiko automatic movements. Simpler watches, built one at a time.
