Our story

A watch is rarely just a watch. It might mark a first achievement, a gift or an ordinary day made memorable. Its home should feel just as considered.

A note from our founder

I'm Cédric Le Ninivin, and I have been passionate about watches for years. As my collection grew to include automatic watches, I started looking for a watch winder to keep them running between wears. What I found was scattered: winders in one place, boxes in another, and little clear information on fit or winding settings. So I created Hourstead, one place for watch boxes, travel cases and winders, with honest specifications and help when you need it.

A place for the pieces you treasure.

Hourstead brings together watch boxes, travel cases and automatic watch winders, chosen around three ways of living with a collection: at home, away and in motion.

Our point of view is simple: useful storage can also be an object you enjoy seeing every day. Quiet colours, considered proportions and a place for each piece.

Choose for your routine.

A box for the dresser. A compact case for the weekend. A winder for an automatic watch you rotate. We help you compare capacity, finish and fit so that your choice works for the way you actually wear your watches.

Details, not distractions.

Look through the product specifications and available finishes before choosing. If you need help with a dimension or a winding requirement, ask us before ordering.
