Great company to deal with, despite having loads of customers they always treat you as if you are their only one and... nothing is too much trouble. Don’t go and buy a “regular” watch, look at what they have firs, you won’t be disappointed!read more

I bought my husband one of your watches for his 50th birthday. I was lucky to get for Christmas the Emmeline with both... the metal and also the leather strap. It is beautiful - just perfect and I love the versatility of the different straps.read more

My wife has given me a Chapter Five No.1940, 29 SQN Hercules,11/25 in black and it's brilliant. A great looking watch... with a superb strap and I love it. I have many watches from Hublot to Citizen to Hamilton and this watch sits with them proudly, with it's own character and charm.read more

It's a big decision buying a watch. For most of us chaps it's the only piece of jewellery we will wear (and rightly so)... so it's got to be right. I looked hard at all the British Watch makers and for me WT Author had the right balance of originality (why pay thousands for something that looks like a Rolex and isn't?), style, uniqueness, and provenance, all at an affordable and not outrageous price. Nearly 6 months on and I'm really happy with it. They are watches that can be worn with jeans or with a suit. Smart and classy but just that little less formal than the more traditional dress watches out there. So, any negatives? Well, not many - the power reserve on the automatic movement could be better, and mine runs fast at quite a rate (but then so did my old JLC Amvox) so adjustment needed every couple of weeks. Aside from that? No. Very soft and comfortable strap and elegantly packaged. Outstanding service from the guys and it'll take all my powers of resistance (and a house purchase) to stop me buying the next one out! If you're able to lose the brand snobbery, and you want something unique at a price tag that won't leave you eating beans for weeks, you'll end up with something really rather special on your wrist. Highly recommended and a very happy customer. Thanks guys.read more

I have followed W. T. Author watches from the first crowd funding days, I have never been disappointed in the watches... produced. I wanted a watch that was different to the run of the mill, didn't break the bank and was eminently usable. I have a model of every edition and didn't realise I was a watch collector until I bought the first 1905. Support British made goods, buy a quality limited edition watch from W. T. Author today! (but make sure I've bought mine before they sell out...)read more

Like the other reviewers, I couldn't stop at one W. T. Author watch, my first being the 1934 blue automatic, quickly... followed by the 1914 in black and more recently the 1929 in white. The concept of designing watches around historical moments and of course the tie in of getting a new book chapter with each watch really appeals to me. I guess we are tied in to 13 watches and I hope they are all as individual and classy as the existing ones. I live in US and the guys at W. T. Author have been brilliant in ensuring my watches reach me quickly and in great condition. My favorite and most commented on is my black 1914. Love that watch!!read more

I have a real love of watches and like to think I am a bit of a collector. From common Casio's to rarer Breitling's I... like to try and keep in the loop with new releases. W.T. Author caught my eye, with the fact that they are assembled in Britain and also seem to be released in a very limited number. (So far) I have two of the W.T. Author watches. The No. 1914 Blue Trench Watch and also the No. 1934 Blue Dress Watch with the Automatic movement. Both are absolutely stunning and more often than not get admiring comments from passers by. The care and attention to detail that the guys at W.T. Author take is obvious to see. From the superb packaging that they come in, the hand stitched leather straps, to the hand written number card and service booklet. You can also sense when owning one of these timepieces that you have a real unique item and one that is special to you. I was able to choose two different numbered editions and knowing that they're the only ones in the world like that is very special, especially in the watch industry. I also really like the fact that they only release one design a year, it keeps me wondering what they might have in store for us in the future. If my current watches are anything to go by then I can't wait to see the next one.read more

I am the very proud owner of all the blue models and supporter of the brand since the first day. There is something... about W.T. Author that you will never find in any brand alike, they tell a story and unfold the history of watchmaking and the world. That, and the fact that they will only create 13 limited models, makes it quite a special timepiece to wear. The make is very high quality, all models feel very solid and sturdy. The straps are made of very strong leather and give the pieces an adventurous and original look. The battery life is very long, actually my 1905 is still running on the same power as it did when it first arrived, where the 1914 needed to have it's battery changed only once. Every year Sam and Jon come up with a new great concept, connected to a specific year in history only one per decade, telling a unique story. The anticipation that starts every year at the end of summer and ends around half november - december for me is hard to describe, I am always eager to find out what they come up with next and every time they exceed my expectations.read more

I purchased the Nº 1934 green dress watch as a gift to myself as I've never really owned a time piece that had much... more purpose than simply telling the time. W. T. Author's watches are more than just a timepiece, they have a history and a story to tell with each model. After months of looking through the range on the W.T. Author website, I finally decided to go with the Nº 1934 as soon as it was released in September 2016 and purchased #08 of 25 which gave it even more personal value to me. The full service from Jon and Sam has been exceptional from first contacting the guys, through purchasing to after care service. The watch arrives in a beautifully presented box and you get a real sense for how much pride they have taken in designing, building and sending the watch. I'm sure I'll be buying a few more products from W. T. Author in the very near future!read more

Came across WTAuthor at Duxford this September whilst perusing the many exhibitor stalls. At a glance I thought it was... just another peddler of watches as I walked past. What made me stop was that I didn’t recognise the Brand and when I saw the prices I was I intrigued as opposed to put off. There was no hard sell and Sam introduced himself and the story and concept behind the watches. The more I listened the more I felt that was looking at a product that represented or reflected on my personality. It was unique, a limited edition offering, built to order with a fascinating storyboard of period designs and a British company. I loved the presentation, the styling, the build quality and I felt Sam was offering a genuine product backed by a design team that believed in their product. Sam seemed genuinely interested in spending time answering all my questions knowing there probably wouldn’t be sale there and then which reassured me further. It was like to talking to a friend than a sales person. The result was a decision to purchase a 1940 automatic movement online a few weeks later. I keep in touch with Sam via WT Arthur’s FB Page and love the personal touch. The watch was delivered beautifully presented with a hand written note which made me feel very valued as a customer which at this time further reinforces the values and customer service of this company. Thank you for a great watch and great service to date.read more

I consider myself a bit of a watch-a-holic. Not collecting the - so to say - top-end makes, but searching for... breathtaking timepieces at a reasonable price. For me W.T Author clearly stands out. Jon and Sam tell and amazing story by releasing only thirteen models in thirteen years covering the history of the wristwatch, one out of each decade starting with 1905. Every model has its own remarkable look and feel, but still they all stay within the brand WT Author. The signature on the 12, the red crown, the missing numbers on the dial. The make is very high quality, all models feel very solid and sturdy. The straps are made of very strong leather and give the pieces an adventurous and original look. The battery life is very long, actually my 1905 is still running on the same power as it did when it first arrived, where the 1914 needed to have it's battery changed only once. And they are clearly full of surprises, creating the first automatic with 1929 black and adding a very limited (and sold out) 25 pieces green version with the 1934. Can't wait what they come up with in the 1940 model. This brand is much more than just a wristwatch making company! They are true storytellers with a sharp eye on high quality of details and a tremendous vision on how a beautiful time piece has to be made. Owning every model, I can say I love to wear them all and no matter which one is on my wrist, I always get compliments about it. Giving me the wonderful opportunity to re-tell the story of W.T. Author.read more

I've had my 1905 edition watch now over a year. It's getting better with age! Such a talking piece around any table and... looks superb. The packaging and detail that goes into the watch are second go none. I want another already! Keep it up :)read more
