Climate Positive

The legacy of every Photic diver will be rooted in helping to reforest Scotland.

For every watch that is sold, we will plant a UK native tree, providing ecological benefits to local biodiversity and our global environment.

In addition to planting trees, we will off-set at least 2x the carbon footprint of each watch. By removing carbon from the atmosphere we'll help to protect our habitats on land and sea.

This is our commitment, helping to protect the wild places we love to explore.

Spirit

Our watches are assembled by hand, in Britain.

Working with local horologists ensures our watches are assembled with the attention they deserve.

We plant a UK native tree for every watch sold and are climate positive, securing a legacy of environmetal enhancement for the future.

Light Play

The domed edges of our dials, sunburst finishes and contrasting use of polished and brushed steel give each watch its own personality.

Our gradient dial is a chameleon, bronze gilt accents emit warmth, domed dial edges swoop into shadow and polished case bevels discreetly slim the watch toward the wrist.

What do the Experts say?

"Clemence walks a fine line here in embracing the tried and true while doing it in a way that feels wholly original."

- Blake Buettner

"The proportions of the Photic are absolute perfection, as it wears brilliantly on wrist and is also very comfortable"

- Will Duncan

"Photic Diver has some vintage-inspiration and keeps things slim with little fuss but lots of flair."

- Mike Razak

"The edges of the dial curve down away from the crystal, right where the color is the blackest. It’s genuinely lovely."

- Dave Sergeant

"The Ultimate Shark Week Watch:

2021"

"this is a charming, elegant diver with versatility on land and natural acclimation in the sea...from a nation planting some of the deepest roots to protect our aquatic ecosystems"

- Nate DeNicola
