Personalise your tartan watch
Every item we create is custom-made using authentic Scottish tartan, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. We take immense pride in our craftsmanship, ensuring that each Custom Tartan Watch is truly one-of-a-kind.
1. Choose your Watch Size
Watch size refers to the diameter of the case as shown above. Both 36mm and 40mm are unisex designs - choose 40mm if you prefer a bolder, more prominent look on your wrist.
2. Choose your Case Colour
The case colour defines the metal finish of your watch's frame and crown. Choose a colour to perfectly complement your chosen tartan pattern and personal style.
3. Add custom engraving
Personalise the back of your watch case with custom engraving. Add names, dates, or meaningful messages to create a unique heirloom piece.
4. Add Leather Imprint
Make your leather strap uniquely yours with custom imprinting. Include your surname, initials, or clan name for a distinctive finishing touch that's unmistakably you.
The strap will be handmade with genuine tartan fabric from Scottish mills, with high-quality leather on the underside of the strap.
With a bespoke touch, we can imprint your name or a date on the leather side of the strap (up to 9 characters).
Please allow 3–5 weeks from ordering before dispatch for your custom creation. Occasionally, there may be delays beyond this timeframe due to production hold-ups at the weaving mills, which are outside of our control. If this occurs, we’ll do our best to keep you informed and appreciate your patience and understanding.
