This is my third Hourhand watch. Started with the Datejust, now I own three colorways. Laurin actually replied to my email in like an hour when I had a sizing question before ordering. That kind of service is rare from a small brand.

Husham

I am very happy with this watch! It feels well-made, looks even better in person, and is very comfortable to wear all day. The quality is impressive and it exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!

Processing & Shipping

Each watch is hand-assembled after your order is placed. Please allow 7–12 business days for processing before shipment — in some cases orders are completed sooner depending on part availability.

If this listing shows "Ships within 24h," that watch is already built and ready to go — it skips the assembly wait and ships within a day of your order.

Shipping time

Once dispatched, delivery typically takes:

  • Sweden: 2–5 business days
  • Europe & International: 3–8 business days

All orders ship with tracking. You'll get a confirmation email the moment your watch leaves our studio.

Why it takes time

Our watches aren't mass-produced. Each one is carefully assembled in Sweden using reliable Seiko movements and custom-selected parts, then quality-checked before it ships.

Shipping costs & duties

Free worldwide shipping. Import duties or taxes may apply depending on your country and are the customer's responsibility.

What is an Automatic Watch?

An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that powers itself through the natural movement of your wrist. As you wear the watch, an internal rotor winds the movement, storing energy to keep it running.

Unlike quartz watches, automatic watches do not require a battery. Instead, they rely on traditional watchmaking mechanics refined over decades for reliability and precision. As long as the watch is worn regularly, it continues to run, and once fully wound, it can keep time for up to 41 hours even after being taken off the wrist.

Premium Seiko Rotor

Most mod shops sell you a bare movement and leave the rotor as a €50–150 upgrade. We don't.

Every HourHand watch ships with a premium rotor already installed, the same one other brands charge extra for. No upsell, no "unlock the good version." It's just how we build them.

Premium rotor included on every watch, no upcharge

Smooth, weighted winding motion — not the stock stamped rotor
