Time is of itself fascinating: the notion of time, the passing of time, the way it maps out our lives. It is captivating, controlling and romantic and with the advent of the digital world it is available to us everywhere. Yet mechanical timepieces have not only endured in the 21st Century, they have flourished. This is because a mechanical watch is something the inner engineer in all of us can relate to and because when beautifully made a mechanical watch combines function with form that keeps the inner aesthete in all of us happy also.

There are many watch brands but only a few watch 'houses', those brands that practice haute horlogerie and produce the finest timepieces. Hamilton & Inches represents a uniquely prestigious stable of these watch makers.
