A gift that grows with him
A first proper watch is a milestone. It is the moment a watch stops being a toy and becomes something worth looking after. Because every Slaidburn carries our lifetime guarantee, it can go with him from his first job to his own children’s birthdays.
Bold, but never loud
Each watch takes its colours from the superhero films so many of us grew up with, but there are no logos, no characters and nothing printed on the dial except our own mark. The nod is there for those who know. To everyone else it is simply a well-made watch with character, so it can be worn almost anywhere: at work, at dinner, at the weekend.
Made properly, by hand
Every Slaidburn is assembled by hand in our Whitechapel workshop in London, from premium parts ordered to our own specification, and never outsourced. Inside is the Miyota 8215, a Japanese automatic movement trusted for decades: it winds itself as it is worn, so there is no battery to replace.
Each design is made in an edition of 100 and never again, and every watch carries our lifetime guarantee: for as long as he owns it, we will fix anything we can, free.
Which one for him
Red One pairs a red web-cut dial with a black bezel, on ivory or navy leather. Black One is black on black and goes with everything. Cobalt is the most colourful of the collection, for a son who likes to stand out.
