🛠️ 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.

🕰️ Mechanical vs. Quartz

Mechanical watches carry history, craft, and rhythm—tangible time you can feel.

I bought the 40mm Tree Dweller watch. This is my second watch from Mr. Eatwell with the first being the Swiss 40mm SubMeloner. The affordability and quality of the watches are outstanding. The dial and bezel are perfect. They are an attention piece, and I always receive compliments. I could not be happier with my purchase.

Watch looks great and is exactly what I needed to add to the collection.

Mr. Eatwell! Matt puts together a nice watch that is well worth the money. He also is great at responding to questions!

The watch is awesome, Matt had some difficulties making the original watch and reach out to me and kept me in the loop through the whole process. This made me buy another one of his watches as well. Can’t wait to wear the watch. Such a dope piece.

I ordered both the SubMeloner and the Snowmobiler, and I have to say that both exceeded my expectations. The quality at the price point is exceptional. These are statement pieces that truly stand out. Also the case the watch comes in is icing on the cake. I can definitely see myself buying more pieces in the future.

Love the watch, looks great, solid quality. And great customer service!

I recently received my Tree Dweller series 1 (40mm) and at first glance I was impressed! For any watch nerd, this piece in particular is to be appreciated. Worthy of any watch collection, hand made with a genuine story. Well built with quality craftsmanship, rugged and elegant design. I have confidence that this watch will hold up to my active lifestyle. I’d recommend this watch even if you already have a *Rolex in your collection. The Tree Dweller by Mr. Eatwell is a vibrant homage to some of the worlds classic timepieces.
