Thomas Earnshaw is revered as a legend and pioneer in the field of watchmaking. Born in Manchester, England, in 1749, he was famous for his work in refining and improving the marine chronometers of the time.

Reduced design, a fresh, colorful style and "form follows function", this is what the watch brand BAUHAUS brings to the table, true to the philosophy of the namesake design school. The new Bauhaus watc hbrand celebrates the acquisition of the watch assembly and the according Bauhaus building of the former VEB Uhrenwerke Ruhla by the family-run watch company POINTtec. This building, in which our watch brands ZEPPELIN and IRON ANNIE have already been produced for decades, was built in 1929 in the Bauhaus style based on designs by the famous Jena architects Schreiter & Schlag and today is one of Ruhlas most important historical buildings.
Briston is a French brand born out of a very British spirit. OFrom the dreaming spires of Oxford and Cambridge and from boat races gliding past cricket pitches and polo fields, this sporty chic spirit has been the epitome of British style since Queen Victoria. This chic yet casual lifestyle and its occasional quirkiness was also a great inspiration for the “preppy” style that originated in the Ivy League universities on the east coast of the United States. It is this spirit, combined with its watchmaking DNA, that gives Briston its unique style.
Working with innovative materials, such as cellulose acetate, and colours give Briston watches their distinctive look.
