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.

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.
