Your next watch could be your own creation

Your personality is all its own. You are truly unique. A one of a kind person without anyone else the same. So why should your watch be the same as the man standing next to you? Undone Watches allows you to build your watch (choosing from the options provided) from the ground up to suit your individual preferences. You can pay a premium on mass-produced luxury watches from brands like Rolex, Omega, Hublot, IWC, and Swatch; Undone looks to allow you to get a premium custom watch without paying the premium price.

Many brands will claim they offer custom products while they only have a few options and can slash prices by only offering a limited number of combinations they can still mass-produce. Undone Watches doesn’t begin building your watch until you have selected everything from the strap to the hour hands. The process means you can have something that is truly tailored to fit your style and the life you lead.

Begin with a type and a function

The process starts with choosing a function and a type of watch from their collections, giving you a base. You can go with a dive watch like the Aquadeep, which offers 500 meters of water resistance and a helium escape valve at 10 o’clock. You can step back into history with the Vintage Kelly, a true show of individuality that harkens back to the early days of wristwatches. Or you can choose the Basecamp, known for the everyday heftiness of modern functionality with a vintage look.

You can then look at every detail and begin choosing the look of your watch. Choose from different faces and cases. Choose your hand styles and colors. And then, finally, decide on the band you want to sport on your timepiece. If you go with a dive watch, you may be best suited with a sports band, while the vintage aesthetics shine with leather. The result is one of your most dynamic watches because it fits your style perfectly.

Get something already designed

Not feeling very creative? Want to trust the watchmakers themselves? Undone Watches also provides already-designed options that you can pick up with the click of a button. The Terra combines vintage looks with modern durability. The Urban is a collection of Vintage Kelly variations that keep you looking sharp. The Aqua II provides a standard dive watch focused on the function without asking you all the questions customization requires.

You don’t have to be rich to have a custom watch; you only need to look in the right places. Watches for men can feel less and less accessible to those with specific tastes or economic means. Lucky for them, Undone Watches is fixing both of those problems.

After the postponement of the prestigious Only Watch 2023, now rescheduled for May 10, 2024, anticipation for the event is palpable. For smaller watch brands, Only Watch is the perfect setting for them to test the waters with newer concepts, but after the delay, several dropped out, while some, like Patek Philippe, saw an opportunity amidst the chaos. Instead of succumbing to delays, the brand unveiled its reference 1938 Minute Repeater Alarm last November, which was limited to just 30 watches.
Only Watch 2024: Patek Philippe reference 6301A

Now, Patek Philippe has unveiled its newest Only Watch entry, reference 6301A, consisting of a grande et petite sonnerie and minute repeater, which is surprisingly encased in steel, a rare choice for the brand. At the moment, the ref. 6301A is the sole new addition to Only Watch 2024, while the rest of the watches have been taken from last year's canceled event. While the only visual distinction between the new Patek Philippe and last year's entry is the dial, it's a departure from a more formal look.

When most people think of Jay-Z, they think of, well, Beyoncé first and foremost, but they then think of his chart-topping hits and, lastly, his blinding watch collection. The man is not just a fan of watches; he's a collector of some of the most expensive and complicated timepieces in existence that are quite literally worth more than all of our houses, cars, and dogs collectively.

Jay-Z's watch collection is comprised of brands like Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and Patek Philippe, but the one brand that sits at the very top of his shelf, like the sock that is a toddler's most prized possession, is Hublot. He's made it quite clear that Hublot holds the biggest space in his heart, and made sure to proclaim it to the world in his 2011 song Otis, in which he sang, "New watch alert: Hublot."
