Helicon Professional Chronograph: A Space Watch on a Mission
A performance chronograph watch, designed and assembled in Great Britain, by a British independent watchmaker with 20 years experience.
A Watch with a Mission – Made Possible by You
With over 20 years of combined experience in the watch industry, Helicon watches was founded in 2018, by husband and wife team Danielle and Jonathan Bordell.
Helicon Watches has been built on the passion and enthusiasm of our wonderful community. With your support, we want to bring this important project to life through Kickstarter.
The first backers will be able to secure the Helicon Professional Chronograph at an exclusive launch price - the watch has been designed, tested and will be assembled right here in Great Britain.
Inspired by the rugged, highly collectible Seiko chronographs issued to the Royal Air Force in the 1980s, the Helicon Professional Chronograph is built to our exacting standards. Every detail of the watch has been carefully considered, with specifications designed for both precision and durability.
Key Features:
• 316L stainless steel case – Built for toughness and longevity
• Sapphire crystal with internal AR coating – Superior scratch resistance and legibility
• Bi-directional bezel – Functional and easy to use in all conditions
• Two-layer dial – Adding depth and clarity to the design
• Swiss Super-LumiNova – Ensuring visibility in all lighting conditions
• Seiko Hybrid Quartz-Mechanical Movement – A proven, reliable engine for this timepiece
• Hydraulic case back – Designed for both negative and positive pressure resistance
• 100m water resistance – Built for adventure.
Why Kickstarter?
We’ve chosen to launch the Helicon Professional Chronograph on Kickstarter because it allows us to focus on what really matters: making a great watch at a fair price.
As a small, independent brand, we’ve stripped away traditional marketing costs — no paid ads, no big agencies — and instead, we’re inviting you to be part of the journey from the very start.
By using a platform like Kickstarter, we can put more of the budget into quality components, UK-based assembly, and thoughtful design, while passing the savings directly on to you.
