BRAND STORY

CONCEPT

A modern vintage watch, combining the work of
skilled craftsmen with the latest machine tools.

NAOYA HIDA & Co. watches were born of the desire to create never-before-seen timepieces. We achieve this by combining the manual work of skilled craftsmen with the cutting technology of the latest microfabrication machines. We employ design motifs of the so-called golden age of mechanical watches, created between the 1930s and ‘60s. They are more than mere reproductions however, we aim to manufacture watches that can only be have been produced in this modern age.
