Bespoke Watch Projects

About

Bespoke Watch Projects creates limited production mechanical timepieces, each assembled by hand in Oakland, California. The brand has become known for its combination of heritage-inspired details and modernist design influences, as well as being distinctive objects of expression from designer & watchmaker John Beck McConnico. With a background in art direction, design, and fine art, he applies unconventional techniques to the overall production process. His latest “Intaglio” collection incorporates engraved & patinated dials with direct influences from painting and printmaking—resulting in pieces that look both familiar yet unique.Final dial creation and finishing is executed in-house, applying custom patinas and engraving to recycled brass, copper, and sterling silver substrates. The brand also strives for a “zero waste” model, using leather cut-offs and dead stock materials for custom straps and recycled components for packaging. Above all, the range of processes contribute to the end product—a timepiece that is equal part tool, art, and heirloom.In addition to made-to-order timepieces, a curated selection of readymade models are also offered, allowing customers to immediately buy distinctive one-of-a-kind watches.
