What Makes Us Different?
We're not pretending to be a luxury brand with fancy heritage. We're a team of watch enthusiasts who build high-quality modified timepieces using:
- Authentic Seiko automatic movements from Japan - giving you that satisfying mechanical sweep without the luxury markup.
- Premium 316L stainless steel cases that feel substantial on your wrist.
- Sapphire crystal glass that resists scratches during everyday wear.
- Ceramic bezels and quality components that match the look and feel of watches costing 10x more.
The Real Story Behind Our Watches
I've always been obsessed with luxury watches - their precision, their craftsmanship, their unmistakable designs. But like most people, I couldn't justify spending thousands on a timepiece.
The cheap knockoffs I tried all had the same problems: movements that failed within months, cases that felt like plastic toys, and overall quality that just didn't hold up.
That's why I created FOR THE HOURS WATCHES. I wanted to build watches with the iconic designs I've always admired, made with genuine quality components, at prices real people can afford.
Make It Yours
We put you in control, especially when it comes to making your watch personal:
- Engrave a special name, date, or personal message on the back or buckle.
- Choose a clean dial without a logo (simply add a "Special Instructions" message in the cart drawer saying "no logo").
- Select our subtle crown emblem.
For other customization requests like adding your own logo or building a custom design, reach out via our website chat or Instagram/Messenger, and let us know how you'd like your watch customized.
Built In Our Workshop
Each watch is assembled in our workshop, where we carefully match components and inspect every detail. This isn't mass production - it's watchmaking with attention to what matters.
Because we believe everyone deserves to wear a watch they're proud of, without emptying their bank account to get it.
The Name With Meaning
The name "FOR THE HOURS" was born during a conversation about the countless hours we invest in our careers or businesses, improving ourselves, and nurturing relationships.
That's when it clicked - a watch can be more than just a timekeeper. Our mod watches are a symbol for what is most important in your life.
Whether you're gifting one to yourself or gifting one to someone important - FOR THE HOURS watches combine quality craftsmanship with your personal meaning.
