Artisans painstakingly handcraft each dial component, replicating authentic and antique effects such as oxidation, ageing, and long-term exposure. Each timepiece captures the very soul and essence of vintage watches. Simultaneously, WMT ingeniously infuses contemporary art elements into its designs, presenting a dual image that blends the nostalgia of the past with current trends. This perfect fusion of vintage and modern aesthetics creates a mesmerising allure. Whether its luxury or street style, WMT knows no bounds, seamlessly navigating between the two with effortless versatility.

Revitalising the Essence of Antique Timepieces
Nostalgia, a universally felt sentiment, derives its meaning from the memories of the past that shape our present existence. The passage of time not only signifies progress, but also forms the bedrock for retracing our historical origins.
Timepieces, as custodians of time, transcend the boundaries between the physical and the intangible, granting their owners a tangible experience. Throughout the ages, humanity has relentlessly pursued the boundaries of precise timekeeping, recognising the ability to grasp each passing second and minute as a source of certainly and security.
Antique wristwatches possess an extraordinary capability to traverse the corridors of time, faithfully safeguarding the stories and memories witnessed by their previous owners. With the passing of time, it leaves unique marks on the timepiece such as oxidised four hands, yellowed tinted glass and worn-out cases, further accentuating their enduring charm. WMT’s creations extend beyond mere timepieces; they embody a fragment of history on your wrist, forging a tangible connection to the sentiment of nostalgia.
