The Meridian
The everyday reference — brushed steel case, sunburst dial, and a movement visible through a sapphire caseback.
Concept demo · built by Swenson Digital
Calibre builds mechanical watches from raw titanium and sapphire — no batteries, no software, no expiration date. Just a movement, wound by hand, built to run for decades.
A watch should outlive the person who winds it.
Most watches today are disposable electronics wearing a wristband — a battery, a screen, a two-year lifespan before the next upgrade cycle.
Calibre builds the other kind: a mechanical movement with no software to abandon and no battery to die, designed to be serviced, inherited, and worn for generations rather than replaced.
The Movement
The Calibre CX-1 movement is assembled from 187 components by hand, regulated over 15 days before it ever reaches a case.
The Collection
Each case is machined from a single billet, then finished and regulated in-house.

Titanium · Chronograph
Grade 5 titanium and a twin-register chronograph movement, built for a case that takes a hit and keeps time anyway.
Rose Gold · Dress
An 18k rose gold case with a hand-guillochéd dial — the thinnest movement Calibre makes, built for an evening, not a gym bag.
The Process
Nine weeks, start to finish. Nothing is outsourced.
Each case starts as a solid steel, titanium, or gold billet, roughed out on a 5-axis CNC mill before any hand-finishing begins.
187 components, assembled by hand under magnification by a single watchmaker who signs the rotor when it's done.
Each movement runs for 15 days across six positions, adjusted until it holds within -4/+6 seconds a day.
Water resistance, timing accuracy, and finish are checked a second time by someone who didn't build it.
Why Mechanical
A fully wound Calibre runs for 72 hours on stored spring tension alone — no charging cable, no dead battery on the one day you need it.
Every movement is designed to be opened, cleaned, and re-regulated — not replaced when it stops running.
Calibre doesn't rebrand a supplier's stock movement — the CX-1 is designed and assembled entirely in our own workshop.
A mechanical watch is one of the few objects built to outlast the person who bought it, not the warranty period.
The Workshop
Calibre started as one watchmaker's attempt to build a movement that didn't need to compromise — no supplier shortcuts, no rebranded stock caliber, no "good enough for the price point."
That first CX-1 prototype is still running, fourteen years and one full service later, on the wrist of the person who built it. Every watch that's left the workshop since has been held to the same standard: built to be serviced, not replaced.
Today the workshop is fourteen watchmakers, one movement family, and a waitlist longer than the annual production run.
