Computers and phones have replaced mechanical clocks for practical timekeeping, but in a world overrun by screens and digital information, watch movements remain wonders of mechanical design and a reminder of a time when technology and craftsmanship were still connected.

This series is made from watches that are too badly damaged or no longer considered "valuable" enough to repair. With no practical use, these movements often end up collecting dust, forgotten or thrown away. The Movement Collection offers an alternative, flipping the movements over and mounting them to bring their inner workings into full view.

Each piece pairs an exposed movement with a vintage case, letting the mechanics speak for themselves in a quiet contrast to the noise of modern life.

Deep time studio proudly features vintage and repurposed materials in our work. This means that many pieces show signs of wear from previous lives. These signs are part of the unique journey of each piece through the world and we invite you appreciate these as part of the character of the piece. Please look carefully at all photos provided so you be sure they meet your needs and preferences prior to purchase.

All pieces are professionally cleaned and go through visual inspections. If something breaks or goes wrong for any reason, we offer a 6 month money back return policy.

Deep time watches require little to no maintenance and are built for years of use under normal conditions. They never need to be charged, wound, serviced or set for daylight savings.

Watches can safely be washed in warm water except for leather banded pieces which can be wiped down with a damp cloth or oiled as needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to salt water which can cause some metals to corrode. Avoid storing with sharp or abrasive objects to prevent scratching.
