Open by design
The bridges are cut away so the train, the escapement and the balance stay visible from the moment you glance at the wrist.
Finished by hand
Perlage on the plate, Geneva stripes on the bridges, polished bevels on every edge. Each calibre takes a week at the bench.
Serviced for life
Every Orrery returns to our atelier for its service. Parts are made in small runs and kept for decades.
Private viewings
Come and see it run.
Visit the atelier on Clockmakers' Quay, watch a movement being regulated at the bench, and try every finish on the wrist. A watchmaker will host you for as long as you like.

About Orrery
A small atelier for
watches that show their work.
Orrery was started by a handful of watchmakers who wanted to build the thing they kept admiring in museums: a movement you can follow with your eyes, wheel by wheel, from the barrel to the balance.
We make one family of watches. Every case is turned and polished in house, every plate is finished by hand, and every watch is regulated on the bench for a week before it leaves the atelier.
We keep the range small on purpose. Ten references, five families, a handful of metals. It means each one gets the time it needs, and it means we can service every watch we have ever made.
Materials
Stainless steel, titanium and 18k gold, with sapphire crystal front and back. Straps are cut from full-grain calf.
Movement
Automatic calibre with a free-sprung balance, 60 hours of reserve and a skeletonised train, finished from the plate up.
Care
Complimentary insured shipping, a 30 day return window, and a lifetime of servicing from the people who built it.
