🛠️ Hand-Built
Please allow 10–14 business days for build and shipping.

Your Half-Shell Continual is built with intention, not automation.

🕰️ 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.

  • Not covered: Scratches, accidental damage, water mishandling, or unauthorized repair

If anything feels off, we’ll make it right. Guaranteed.
