Our Fire Watch caseback features the highly flammable symbol which glows in the dark at night when a lume torch is applied.

Who is William Wood?

William Wood was the name of our Founder’s Late Grandfather. He served in the British Fire Service for 25 years winning commendations for his acts of bravery. He was stationed at Pilgrim Street for the Newcastle & Gateshead Fire Brigade serving on the Blue Watch.

Grandfather & Hero

William retired from the Fire Service in 1982 leaving a lasting impression on his colleagues and his grandson Jonny. His impact and legacy now lives on within our unique watches.

The Match Was Lit

Fire Hose Straps

All of our straps are made from genuine upcycled fire hose used by Fire Departments around the world. We offer a diverse range of colours, each with their own texture, patina and story to tell.

100 YEARS OF HISTORY INSIDE

Vintage Firefighter Helmet

Our watches have over 100 years of firefighting history inside. We take an original British brass firefighter's helmet, worn by firefighters in the 1920's in Great Britain, and melt it inside of our watch creations.

UPCYCLED

Firefighter Turnout Gear

Firefighter turnout gear, worn by firefighters to protect them against the elements, is one of the most iconic first responder uniforms. We have managed to upcycle this incredible material into our luxury watch straps.
