We are a husband-and-wife team with over 20 years of experience in the watch industry. We have had the pleasure of working with prestigious brands such as Zodiac, Eterna, Sinn, Squale, Fortis, Laco, AVI-8, Spinnaker, and many more.
Our Craftmanship
Everything we create is designed in-house, in collaboration with partners we've trusted for many years. We are proud members of The British Watchmakers Association and the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.
Our Vision
Our journey begins with a spark of inspiration, envisioning a timepiece that transcends functionality to become a wearable work of art. With over 30 years of combined experience in the watch industry, we are passionate about our hands-on approach to design. Each piece begins as a detailed sketch, refined through meticulous brainstorming until every element is perfect. The excitement of transforming these ideas into reality fuels our passion.
From initial concepts, we progress to creating prototypes. Each prototype is a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted to ensure every detail aligns with our vision. From the shape and composition of the case to the trusted mechanical movements and intricate, legible dials, every element is crafted with precision and care.
In a world often driven by mass production and convenience, we remain committed to craftsmanship, exclusivity, and building relationships with our customers.
Our watches are more than timekeepers; they embody our dedication to the art of watchmaking. We invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of crafting time – one timeless piece at a time.

Really enjoying the watch 10/10
Made the purchase at the weekend and received the Master 62 Lichen with both metal and orange strap options on Tuesday. A beautiful, functional, solidly built watch that feels worth far more than the purchase price. A proper ‘old school’ style purchase experience with as much personal service as can ever be introduced in this internet age. You know they care about their product & your experience. - SK
Great experience, excellent watch
Great experience all round including very prompt & responsive service. The watch is classy & understated yet distinctive. This would be true at any price, but Helicon also offers excellent value as well, & for a true limited edition. Build quality is very high indeed - very nicely finished & solid. A lovely daily watch with a difference. Plus you are supporting a small business. I really hope they continue as they truly stand out in a crowded market. - Martin.
It Hasn't Left My Wrist
.......Great design is one thing but a great story can make the difference. The Helicon Master 62 has both. I chose the unique lichen green dial which while looking great in the photos is something else again in person. I knew I’d like the watch but wasn’t prepared for how much I love it. - CJ
Absolutely excellent service
Absolutely excellent service and a brilliant watch. I would highly recommend Helicon watches to anyone interested in a unique and high quality product. - MM
Something truly special
The attention to detail, custom design elements like the bespoke alternating red and black numbered date wheel and the weight on the wrist add up to a quality contemporary piece with impeccable 1960’s design lineage. It hasn’t left my wrist since it arrived. Combine that with personalised service from folk who seem to really care about their product and the customers who buy them and you’ve got a memorable experience. Best of luck with the business and I hope there’s plenty more to come!
Stunningly made watch
"with details that keep you stealing glances as the days, weeks, months, go on. It's a fantastic daily, as it's as hardy as they come, and it still draws eyes when the day is winding down!". -

Great Watch, Great Experience
Communication and delivery were fast. I got the Blue Hour which is stunning and lives up to the reviews. I've read. Also appreciate the taper on the bracelet. - DF
I love the bezel so much
"I have just worn my Lichen tonight, just noticed why I love this bezel so much .... it's oversized edges feel completely different to any other watch I have. It looks so good, feels even better. Do any other watches have this. The attention to detail is amazing. - GN
