The Stamford Watch
 The Stamford Watch.
After years of servicing and restoring fine watches, we realised that we could make our own high quality, mechanical wristwatch. The result is a limited edition of 100 English watches, designed and built here in Stamford.

The movement is a 22-jewel automatic, high-frequency design. We decorated the plates with traditional "cotes de geneve" stripes (engine turned stripes) and with "spotting". The edges are neatly bevelled and the screws have been blued both for contrast and for ease of use in servicing. The movement is neatly visible through an exhibition sapphire case back. |
Each watch is hand built and rigorously tested in our Stamford workshops before it goes on sale. That way we have the confidence that each will keep excellent time and function reliably. Our watches are guaranteed for three years but designed to last a lifetime. |

A limited edition of one hundred British watches, designed and hand-built by us in Stamford.
Each is tested only once the movement, dial, hands and case are complete. The vast majority of modern watch movements are only tested briefly before casing up but experience has taught us that our way is the right way.
The movements are signed and numbered on the automatic winding weight, clearly visible once in the case.
We test each watch for water-resistance to 5 ATM. They are not intended to be waterproof, this is simply a good way to ensure they are completely dust-proof and should withstand getting soaked in the rain or an accidental plunge into a basin of water.
The Stamford Watch is for sale from our St Mary's Hill workshops, gift -boxed, for £470. We just had a superb write-up from Stamford Living magazine in their December 2009 feature: "The People of St Mary's". Go to www.StamfordLiving.co.uk to see the article in full.

We have not had much time to post reviews or comments but...
" It's a superb watch (the beautifully blued hands make it wonderfully easy to read in any light) and if you would like to use any of my comments on your website then please feel free to do so. I really shouldn't wear it in everyday use, considering my work takes me into contact with some pretty heavy engineering but I do like it! I can always take it off whenever I go out into the workshops anyway...
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
David." seems typical of the responses we have had so far. What is the most attractive feature of the watch?
