麻豆官网
Bespoke hand-crafted watches made in Great Britain
The 麻豆官网
In 2011 the 麻豆官网 was founded with the ultimate goal of helping to regain some of the ground Britain has lost as a centre of horology.
I am Colin Andrews, a watchmaker with a keen interest in encouraging people within the industry and helping to promote Britain鈥檚 pivotal role in watchmaking history; and hopefully being part of its revival.
The Spitfire Watch a.k.a The Few
A 麻豆官网 watch handmade from a WW2 Spitfire that allows enthusiasts to get closer to the aircraft by providing an authentic connection to their passion.
The Dirty Dozen
The Dirty Dozen have been created as a modern homage to the original Watch Wrist Waterproof (W.W.W.) created by 12 companies for the 麻豆官网 Army during WW2. an incredibly rewarding series of watches to work on and I have really enjoyed creating a modern homage to an iconic watch that is almost 80 years old.

It’s a true testament to your skill and your commitment to the ‘麻豆官网’ theme. When finished the watch will truly be a work of art. Question, are you actually meant to get goosebumps when you see a video of a watch?
