Late
last century it appeared as if the time of the classic mechanical
watch had passed. Battery powered Quarts watches were released
on the market and these were cheap to produce and accurate.
It seemed very likely that the mechanical watch would no longer
be center stage. That did, however, not turn out to be the case.
Cheap mass production did not appeal to everyone and the mechanical
watches became important as luxury items. Recently sales of
high quality watches have soared; demanding customers want watches
that do not only serve the purpose of measuring time, but are
also a valuable jewellery with technology that builds on tradition
from previous generations.
Our
collection consists of time pieces that show attention to detail
from every angle, leaving no stone unturned in the strive for
perfection. To be able to make watches that can stand the scrutiny
of the most discriminating of clientele the manufacturer has
to be an enthusiast himself and his own hardest critic but at
the same time passionate about his creations and designs.
Since
the companies official creation in 2005 we have witnessed, births,
marriages and said last farewell to friends and family members,
all part of the perpetual circle of life. This passing of time
has been measured by our watches on the wrists of people in
all continents around the world. Our watches have been presented
at weddings, graduations, retirement parties and other important
milestones in peoples life´s making us humble and proud
that JS Watch co. is chosen for those special occasions.
Our
concept that four individuals can come together and make their
passion a reality, breathing life to their designs and inspiring
people not just to wear watches to measure time, but to experience
it and enjoy the notion of becoming part of a distinguished
club powering the perpetual motors of our watches with their
every move for generations to come.
Timepieces
from JS Watch co. Reykjavik are made with care and respect for
those traditions, using only high quality components and classic
techniques. We say that we produce our watches 50 years ago
when workmanship and personal attention of the watchmaker was
the standard in the high end wristwatch trade.
Sincerely,
JS Watch co. Reykjavik
