OUR STORY


From the shipyards to the linen mills, Belfast has a rich history of craft and innovation. The iconic Samson & Goliath cranes dominate the city’s skyline as a symbol of shipbuilding strength and industrial triumph. The shipyard where they stand, Harland and Wolff, is most famous for its 401st ship, the RMS Titanic as well as her first-class passenger tender, SS Nomadic.


Originally designed by Thomas Andrews, exactly one quarter the size of her infamous sister, the SS Nomadic is now the last remaining White Star Line vessel in the world.

OUR MISSION

To be nomadic – to move from place to place – is symbolic of our desire to make continual progress as a company, and as purpose-led individuals.


We believe that perpetual movement across countries and continents adds depth to our character and colour to our lives. Our watches tell stories as well as time, the moments made and measured as the hands sweep around the dial, chasing the sun beyond the horizon.

ON A MISSION TO MAKE PROGRESS

‘Make progress’, our brand’s philosophy, sums up in two words the mission we are on. To put the city we are from on the watchmaking map and become a storied place of craft and pride in the same way visionary shipbuilders did over a century ago. To enrich our lives and those of others by inspiring a lifetime of adventure and a sense of belonging. And to embark on an uncompromising, continual quest to improve ourselves, our community and the watches we build.

TELLING MORE THAN TIME

We're inspired by the people who wear our watches and their stories. We believe that life is made up of moments.


Those moments, measured by time and swept across the face of our watches, are captured as memories forever. It's, looking back often... moving forwards always. Making progress.
