Dunkirk Watch
Become Part Of WWII History
Triumph
Our iconic Triumph Collection caseback features our Swiss-Made In Case Of Fire Break Glass Movement.

Our Fire Exit caseback features a rotating disc of a man running away from a fire in real time through a fire exit door. Even the words fire exit illuminate at night.

Our Fearless caseback features a modern day British firefighter helmet, with a coloured visor that looks directly into the watch movement.
Fire
Our Fire Watch caseback features the highly flammable symbol which glows in the dark at night when a lume torch is applied.
Chivalrous
Placed in the back of our Chivalrous Collection is a limited edition commemorative coin made from a 1920's British brass firefighter's helmet.

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

100 YEARS OF HISTORY INSIDE
