A passion for watchmaking, turned into a profession

It all started more than two years ago, out of curiosity: disassembling a watch, understanding its movement, trying to improve it. What was supposed to be a simple hobby quickly became an obsession for details. The texture of a dial, the precision of a Seiko NH35 movement, the balance between a case and a bracelet.

Modding Watches was born from this passion, with a simple belief: a beautiful automatic watch should not be reserved for the budget of a major watchmaking house. Every piece we assemble combines a truly authentic Seiko movement with components chosen with the same high standards as traditional watchmaking.

I didn't want to sell watches. I wanted to build pieces I truly believe in, with the same demands as if it were for my own wrist.
