Our classic timepieces are assembled around a highly-reliable movement to give you the ability to maintain the watch with us directly or with another service.
The Ronda calibre Nº 513S is an analogue quartz movement, assembled in Switzerland.
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 affordable, unique classic timepieces 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.
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…)
“We come barreling right out of the gates with our own unique vision” and roll from there…

We’re excited to share our passion for horology with you through our fun, informative and engaging videos.
Together, we’ll unravel the intricate artistry and precision engineering that goes into creating these marvelous masterpieces.
