Look at your watch. Don’t look at what time it is
Introduction
Hi there, I'm George Thompson, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Over the past 40 years, I’ve dedicated my life to the art of traditional watchmaking — building each timepiece by hand with care, precision, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
What started as a small passion project in my workshop has grown into something far greater: a way to connect with people who value quality, honesty, and timeless design.
The Journey
It all began in a modest workshop with a few simple tools, a lot of patience, and an obsession with doing things the right way — not the fast way. There’s something deeply meaningful about working with your hands, feeling each gear come together, hearing the gentle tick of a perfectly tuned mechanism.
Over the years, I’ve assembled every watch with a singular focus: to create something that lasts. Not just in the mechanical sense, but emotionally too — something that becomes part of your daily life, and maybe even passed down one day.
Why I Love What I Do
For me, watchmaking has never just been about telling time.
It’s about building something honest and enduring.
Every timepiece I create is the result of countless hours spent choosing the right materials, refining the design, and assembling each part with my own two hands.
There’s a special joy in seeing the final product — knowing the journey it took from raw metal to a living, ticking piece of craftsmanship. And it’s even more rewarding to know that it goes on to live new stories on the wrist of someone who truly appreciates it.
Looking Ahead
As I approach the final chapter of this journey, my focus remains the same: to create watches that blend beauty and function, made to stand the test of time.
Each of my remaining pieces is a reflection of everything I’ve learned over four decades. They are my final collection — not mass-produced, not rushed, just the kind of work I can sign my name to with pride.
Thank you for being here. Your support means more than I can say.
And if one of my watches ends up on your wrist, I hope it serves you as well as crafting it has served me.
— George Thompson
