The Craft
Checked the way my father checked.
Before any Founder ships, it is inspected by hand movement running true, strap stitched straight, clasp seated. The same habit my father kept for fifty years at the bench.
If anything arrives less than right, the two-year warranty makes it right. And because we sell direct no boutique between us the price stays honest.
One to keep. One to give.
Fifty years since my father opened the workshop; one year since Halven came online. To mark the two anniversaries: add any two Founders to your cart and the second is free one to keep, one to give.
Both are full watches, covered by the same two-year warranty. The discount applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.
Technical Specifications
My father spent fifty years at this bench. I brought his name online.
For fifty years my father repaired more watches than he sold. Every piece that left his bench was wrapped as a gift — his rule was that a watch is never bought for oneself. It is given.
One year ago I brought his name online: the same designs he stood behind, checked by hand the way he taught me without the boutique markup.
