Time to Celebrate!
There’s nothing like a special watch to celebrate one of life’s landmarks, or achievements.
Constantly on your wrist, and regularly referred to, it’s an enduring reminder, particularly if it’s personalised to mark the occasion….
‘More than just a watch’ is more than just a slogan at Harold Pinchbeck.
It’s a recognition that a good watch is a very personal possession: a small object of desire that doesn’t just tell the time. Whether as a gift to yourself or for a loved one, your Harold Pinchbeck watch can also tell a story…
Orpheus: The New Watch from Harold Pinchbeck
We’ve been steadily working on the Orpheus for two years, and now we can show you the first actual photographs of this iconic new watch!…
Your Most Personal Watch
Perhaps our watch is the most personal item most of us wear.
We know that some of our customers rarely take their watch off, and as they will probably own it for many years it can become a far more intimate possession than any clothing….

The Seasonal Dale watch is Back!
The Seasonal Dale is one of our most elegant watches, but it’s been unavailable for two years.
Because of demand, we are delighted to announce that we are now offering this beautiful watch again!
More to your watchstrap than meets the eye…
It’s always a joy to open a parcel from Tanner Bates. Their parcels are beautifully presented, with each strap carefully wrapped in tissue. Such fine tanned hide has a wonderful aroma (think of the interior of a Rolls-Royce)…
We’re here to help!
It's reassuring to know that our servicing and repair work is usually carried out by the same careful craftsman who originally built the watch, which brings a nice continuity to ownership. Look after your watch, and it will look after you: we are here to help!

Harold Pinchbeck at the 2022 Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch
At Harold Pinchbeck we are delighted to support the annual Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch in London’s historic Guildhall.
Since 2008 it’s been one of the City’s biggest fundraisers supporting members of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
