Each classic men’s dress watch is assembled around a highly-reliable movement to give you the ability to maintain the watch with us directly or with another service.
The Miyota Nº 9015 calibre is an analogue automatic movement, assembled in Japan.
It is produced in-house by high-speed automatic assembly lines and undergoes strict quality checks to ensure long-lasting design.
The component includes repairable metal clockwork with a very powerful stepper motor and fixed pulse.
With its extra-low carbon content and added Molybdenum, type 316L stainless steel is incredibly strong and extremely resistant to corrosion from seawater or acidic liquids.
It’s also magnetic resistant, unlike the general-use stainless steel grade of 201 or 304L.
We select 316L as the choice of material to provide an affordable, unique classic men’s dress watch without ever having to compromise on quality.
Every watch is built with British and imported parts and assembled in our workshop.

When it comes to our watches, we always want to hear what our followers think.
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!!
