From Vintage to Avant-Garde
MT&W began as a passion project fueled by our love for vintage watches. Inspired by the heritage of classic timepieces, we set out to create designs that honor the past while embracing the future. Our journey started with vintage-inspired models, but like time itself, we’ve evolved. Today, we focus on redefining tradition—blending timeless aesthetics with bold, modern innovation.
Each of our watches is a balance of contrasts: the elegance of classic design codes paired with cutting-edge functionality and avant-garde details. Whether it’s the clean lines of our cases, the luminous elements that come alive in dim light, or the story-driven dials, every piece represents our vision of a watch that resonates across generations.
Design that Stands the Test of Time
Our mantra is simple: create timepieces that feel relevant today, tomorrow, and fifty years from now. We draw inspiration from the golden ages of design, but our goal is not to replicate the past—it’s to reimagine it. With thoughtful craftsmanship, bold materials, and a commitment to pushing boundaries, we craft watches that embody both heritage and progress.

The classics, reimagined.
The Seventies was a golden age for motorsport. Porsche and Ferrari battled it out on the track during the GT era, while the adrenaline-fueled action of the F1 championships took the world by storm. Behind the scenes, the world of men’s accessories was changing, too. Racing legends like Niki Lauda and Carlos Reutemann helped cement aviator sunglasses in the zeitgeist, but there was one thing that distilled both the glamour and mechanical precision of the racing world more than anything else: the timepieces.
We started this venture as vintage watch enthusiasts, and just like how the big sports car manufacturers have reworked their machines over the decades, our goal is to reimagine the vintage watch – balancing heritage design codes with an eye for modern details. Our vision is simple: to create watches that stand the test of time and remain just as relevant 50 years from now. We bring together classic elements like hardened dome crystal, mechanical-quartz chronographs and stainless steel cases, while our bold colour combinations add a unique twist. Each watch is defined by our signature aged patina dial.
Time to do things differently
A small handful of brands make up most of the sportstimepieces market, relying on their familiar names for commercial success. We decided it was time for something new. We launched MT&W in 2020 for modern vintage timepieces fans like ourselves who were tired of overpaying for quality timepieces or wasting their time rummaging through vintage markets to find a hidden gem. Our collection is designed to be affordable without compromising on quality. Browse our catalogue and discover the timeless aesthetic of MT&W.
