Make the watch rest truely yours
About Hourly
A love child of leather craft and woodworking
Beautiful accessories deserve to be stored in a way just as beautiful as they are. A watch is something you reach for every morning and take off every night. That moment deserves intention. A place that holds it properly. Keeps the glass unscratched and the band in perfect condition. Ensures it is never misplaced, or forgotten. There is a certain pleasure in having a fixed place for what you care for. In seeing it there when you walk past. In the small, quiet ritual of placing it down at the end of the day, and picking it up again the next morning. That is what the watch rest is for.
Made to reflect the beauty of what it holds
After receiving my first vintage luxury watch as a gift, I learned that watches, like other delicate jewellery, can be fragile and require a special kind of care.
I was missing a place to store it that matched the style and quality of what I owned. Somewhere that would protect it, preserve it, and give it a fixed spot to come back to every day.
Growing up with a mother who owns a leather craft atelier, joining forces with her felt like the natural place to start. Together with a skilled furniture maker in Haarlem, we set out to design something that did justice to both crafts.
What followed was a process of refining, sampling, and adjusting until every detail felt exactly right. The result is more than a stand. It is something that truly cares for your watch, and brings a quiet elegance into your interior.

Two crafts, one object
The leather is Italian, vegetable-tanned in the Tuscan tradition. The same kind used by Europe's leading luxury houses, finished by hand with a corset-style saddle stitch.The wood is French walnut. Chosen for its warmth, its fine grain, and the way it deepens with time. Both are brought together by hand. Leather worked in my mother's Amsterdam atelier. Wood shaped in Haarlem.
Italian leather. French walnut. Made in the Netherlands.
The design
The shape is intentional. The leather cradle holds the watch without pressure on the crown. The wood base gives it weight, presence, a fixed place on your dresser or desk.
