Visit Pinchbeck – British Watchmakers in Lincoln
Pinchbeck is an independent British watchmaker designing and hand-assembling luxury British watches in Lincoln, England. Our timepieces are created in small batches using traditional assembly techniques, specialist dial finishing, and artisan strap making. Customers searching for handmade-style British watches, heritage-inspired timepieces and Made in England watches can learn how to contact us, arrange appointments and discover our historic workshop location below.
Our Historic Workshop Location at Exchequer Gate
Located within one of Lincoln’s most historic medieval buildings, our watch workshop operates inside Exchequer Gate. The building sits directly beside one of Britain’s most iconic historic landmarks, providing a uniquely atmospheric setting for British watch assembly.
Our workspace reflects our approach to watchmaking; traditional, practical and focused on careful hand assembly rather than showroom presentation.
Hand-Assembled British Watches Beside Lincoln Cathedral
Our workshop and office sit in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral, placing our work at the centre of one of England’s most historic cities. Each watch is carefully assembled, inspected and finished here before being worn and enjoyed in daily life.
Being based beside the cathedral is more than a location; it reflects our values of permanence, continuity and craftsmanship rooted in place.
Why We Operate a Closed-Door Workshop
As a working watch assembly studio housed in a 675-year-old medieval archway, our space is not designed as a retail showroom or walk-in store. Access involves narrow historic stairways and traditional stone architecture typical of heritage buildings.
To maintain safety, workflow efficiency, and customer experience, we operate a closed-door policy and do not encourage unplanned visits.

British Watchmaking Rooted in Place
Operating from historic Lincoln allows us to remain connected to British craft traditions while creating watches intended for modern daily wear. Our location influences our design philosophy, our pace of production, and our commitment to longevity in watchmaking.
