READY FOR YOUR NEXT WATCH?

FINELY CRAFTED.

Watches aren’t just about telling time anymore – they’ve become a way to show off your personal style. Out of all the options out there, mod watches have really caught on with enthusiasts, and the community around them keeps growing. Lately, Seiko-powered builds have been especially popular, giving people a chance to own something unique that fits both their taste and their budget.

What we do

We custom build watches, powered by Seiko (TMI/SII) movements. We are one of North America’s top builders!

Some great points about them below!

Affordability and Accessibility

Seiko has long been praised for producing reliable and durable watches at affordable price points. This affordability makes Seiko watches an ideal canvas for customization. Enthusiasts can acquire a base watch and invest in modifications without breaking the bank, allowing for a personalized timepiece without the hefty price tag associated with high-end luxury watches. There are now thousands of aftermarket parts catered towards the modding community, and now many homage style mod watches can be crafted without the high price tags of luxury watch brands.

WHy are mod watches popular?

The availability of aftermarket parts and accessories for mod watches allows for endless combinations. Enthusiasts can mix and match components to achieve a wide variety of looks, from vintage aesthetics to modern designs. This versatility in customization appeals to collectors and individuals who want watches that stand out and reflect their individuality.

Mod watches are great for traveling or bringing to work, especially when having 5-6 digits of value on wrist does not make sense.

WHO ARE MOD WATCHES FOR?

People who appreciate owning one-of-a-kind items and want a watch that reflects their personality and style find mod watches appealing. The ability to create a unique timepiece through customization sets these watches apart from mass-produced alternatives.

Seiko mod watches are often more affordable compared to high-end luxury watches. Budget-conscious collectors can grow a watch collection much easier since the cost for a mod watch is signficantly lower.

WHY SEIKO MOVEMENTS?

The popularity of Seiko NH movements within the watch modding community can be attributed to their reliability, affordability, widespread availability, standardized design, aftermarket support, ease of modification, high beat rate, hacking and hand-winding features, and a proven track record in the watchmaking industry. These factors make NH movements an ideal choice for unique and customized timepieces.

Are Mod watches fake?

Seiko-powered mod watches, when done ethically and transparently, are not considered counterfeit. Counterfeit watches typically involve the production and sale of fake replicas that mimic the design and branding of genuine watches with the intent to deceive buyers (e.g. cheap Rolex branded replicas coming out of China with low tier movements). Mod watches that closely resemble another luxury timepiece are considered homages, and not fakes. We use genuine SII/TMI (Seiko’s subsidiaries) movements in our builds.

DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS?

Yes! We take commissions for mod watches. If there is a watch you see online that you would like us to replicate, feel free to drop us a line. 75% of our work has been commission based!

Please be mindful that there will be an extended waiting period in order to acquire components from various parts suppliers. We will also require payment in advance for the custom watch.
