2011
Atelier founded
Hallowell was founded in 2011 by a single watchmaker who left a large Swiss manufacture frustrated by how much of "luxury" watchmaking had become supply-chain assembly rather than bench work.
Every reference is still built one at a time, on the same bench, by someone who will also be the person who services it in ten years. We build in runs of under 50 pieces at a time.
- Every movement regulated by hand on the bench, not by machine batch
- Runs kept under 50 pieces so one watchmaker can see a build through
- Serviced by the same atelier that built it, for as long as it runs
