“My new favourite watch.”
My new favourite watch! Would give it 10 stars if I could. Absolutely beautiful seeing the movement inside and it feels like it's worth $10K honestly!
About Hartley
Watches made to be kept.
Hartley was founded in Australia in 2014 with a simple idea: a beautifully made watch should not cost a fortune. More than 10,000 watches later, that idea has grown into numbered limited editions, built to be worn every day and passed down.

From the founder
Why I started Hartley.
I have always loved watches, but I was frustrated by how hard it was to find one that was genuinely well made without a luxury price tag. So in 2014 I set out to build my own.
Every Hartley is assembled from premium components: 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal and precise Japanese movements. Every one is inspected and tested by hand before it leaves us.
Today we only release limited, numbered editions. When one sells out, it is gone for good. That is what makes owning one mean something.

Made to be passed down
Not built for one lifetime. Built for several.
A good watch should outlive the person who first buys it. So we go to extreme lengths to use the very highest quality materials we can find: 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal on the front and the back, and a Japanese Miyota automatic movement that winds itself as you wear it.
Our goal is simple. We do not want to make watches that last one lifetime. We want to make watches that are worn by you, then by your children, and then by theirs.

Our team
A small team, obsessed with watches.
Behind every Hartley is a small team of people who genuinely love watches. We talk movements over coffee, argue about strap pairings, and check every piece by hand before it ships.
When you email us, you speak to one of us, and we reply within 12 hours.

“Purely mechanical.”
In a digital world it is nice having something that is purely mechanical.

“The easiest to reach for.”
The comfortable fit and minimal styling have made it one of the easiest watches in my collection to reach for.
