Listed pieces run from $2,800 for delicate bracelets to $34,000 for custom iced timepieces. Custom commissions are quoted against your number rather than a fixed list — tell us the budget and the piece gets designed around it.

Yes. Bezel, lug, dial and bracelet work is offered on a watch you own or one we source. Stones are hand-set into custom mountings, never drop-in aftermarket parts.
