🛠️ Hand-Built
Every Half-Shell is meticulously designed and built by hand by me (Hey; I'm Matt, Founder of Mr. Eatwell!) in my Portland home office. I can sometimes accommodate rushes, though, so please reach out to helpme@mreatell.com if you have an event or timeline you need your order by, and I'll try to make it happen for you.
Here's a video of me building a SubMeloner at 30-40x speed:
🕰️ Mechanical vs. Quartz
- Mechanical: Manually wound, powered by a spring
- Automatic: Self-winding as you wear it
- Quartz: Battery-powered, precise ticking
Mechanical watches carry history, craft, and rhythm—tangible time you can feel.
🛡️ Warranty Info
- Covered (2 years): Movement, hands, dial, and build defects
- Not covered: Scratches, accidental damage, water mishandling, or unauthorized repair
If anything feels off, we’ll make it right. Guaranteed.

By far the best watch I own for the price! Beyond sturdy, intricate details, and top-notch style!
Recieved promptly as promised. Really good looking watch but will need to get some links removed to fit properly(small wrist). Better quality than what I thought it would be.
I was so excited to receive this watch and it did not disappoint. I had it shipped all the way to Ireland 🇮🇪 The design of the watch is stunning, so well made. Definitely deserves five stars and 100% I will be purchasing a second one. Thank you! Appreciate you too!
The design of elements on the half-shell continual are great, love the shoreline look.
I recently purchased this watch and couldn't be more impressed — sleek design, solid craftsmanship, and attention to detail you'd expect from a much more expensive brand. Comfortable enough for all-day wear. The perfect balance of elegance and simplicity, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions. For anyone looking for a stylish, high-quality timepiece without breaking the bank, this is a fantastic choice.
Highly recommended!
