Our core ethos is to be in charge of your time because time is not measured in minutes but moments. We as a brand are on a mission to set the new standards in the watch industry, we will be set to make stylish adjustments to the modern day classic. We take the premium watch and offer it to our customers at an accessible price. Founded in 2017, Eligius derives its name from Saint Eligius, the patron saint of goldsmiths and toolmakers. Our founders met in catholic school which happened to be where the idea of Eligius stemmed from. Our time is just beginning and we hope you are willing to invest your time in us.
We bring to you a 316L stainless steel watch with 5ATM water resistance, fully functioning chronograph and sleek designs. We really want to bring a premium timepiece for an affordable price, we are here to shake up the watch industry and with everyones help we are planning more designs and even a women’s range.
We bring you 6 variations of our watch. Nox, Nero, Chronos, Eros, Octavius and Vulcan.
Nox – Derived from the latin for night, Nox is a sleek design. It’s simplicity is key to it’s elegant finish and will bring any outfit together.
Nero – Effective and extravagant, Nero brings a splash of colour to our range. Why not stand out? Be the envy of your friends with a watch that doesn’t conform.
Chronos – In the ancient era chronos was the personification of time. The purifying aspect of this watch pays homage to the modern day classic.
Eros – The instant attraction with Eros comes from the familiarity of the two tone strap but with a twist . Don’t follow the rules, break them!
Octavius – The statement Octavius makes is one of excellence. The intensity of this timepiece creates an urge to show it off.
Vulcan – The gold accents against the black face gives this watch a compelling and dominant feel. With the theme of fire and metal at it’s core, we couldn’t think of a more fitting name than Vulcan.
We started sketching the drawings and how we would want the first collection of Eligius Watches to look. Slowly we saw our plans coming together and piece by piece we built from the ground up; first by designing the case.
The next step was to see what strap we would use, whether to use mesh, metal or leather and to find the supplier we could trust to bring our designs to life. We were finally settled on one specific supplier and design after numerous testing and dead ends with suppliers.
We then picked the general outlay of the watch and where the most efficient and functional places for the dials and details would be. We also focused on how easy it would be for the customer to use.
The design of the face was our next task, we wanted something to scream elegance but not look out of place with the top brands, we had a few ideas but there was one clear winner.
The final designs were sent to the supplier and we were impressed with what they were able to produce. From the vision in our minds, to drawings on paper, to then be transformed into real life, we could see our watches taking form.
We had some samples made and some adjustments done, including increasing the weight, improving the glass of the watch and the overall quality control over the finishing of the watch. In all we are really happy how the product and the brand looks and really cannot wait to see what interest we get and we really do hope this kickstarts our journey!
Thank you for taking your time to even get this far in reading our story, let alone if you are a person that has or will purchase from us in the future, we appreciate you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Much Love,
Eligius Watches
We aim to get the rewards out as soon as possible, we will strive to meet all our time requirements. The only challenge we would potentially face is international shipping, we currently have a lead time of 2 months but with everyone’s details we will keep you all updated. We are currently looking to raise funding for a higher volume of stock as we currently have limited stock. We are also looking to raise brand awareness. With the fund we aim to market the brand to reach more people like the ones that believe in us.
