Who we are

Independent by design.

WatchSurgeon is an independent watch atelier based in Cyprus. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Seiko or any other watch brand.

Every piece is built around a genuine Seiko movement, chosen for its proven precision and reliability, then designed and assembled by hand into a custom timepiece inspired by the great designs of watchmaking.

  1. 01 Genuine movements Seiko NH34, NH35, NH38 and NH05 automatics and the VK63 meca-quartz: calibers trusted by watchmakers worldwide for their accuracy and durability.
  2. 02 Built by hand Dial, hands, case, crystal and bracelet chosen for each design, then assembled piece by piece in our Cyprus workshop and tested before it ships.
  3. 03 Inspired by icons Our designs pay tribute to the most celebrated silhouettes in watchmaking, and each is sold as exactly what it is: a WatchSurgeon custom build.

Το αποτέλεσμα πολύ καλύτερο από ότι το περίμενα. Είχα ζητήσει να αλλαχτούν και σε χρυσό το χρώμα τον hour markers και τα hands και όλα έγιναν όπως τα είχα ζητήσει. Σίγουρα θα σας ξανά προτιμήσω και για το επόμενο!

Customer photo review of 'Horizon' - Daytona Series

After wearing my WatchSurgeon “Horizon” from the Daytona Series (40 mm) for several weeks, I am extremely pleased with it. The watch runs reliably and combines a sporty, stylish design with a striking ice-blue dial, black bezel and stainless-steel bracelet. It is a genuine eye-catcher and is often mistaken for a considerably more expensive luxury watch. I had the bracelet professionally shortened by a local watchmaker to fit my wrist perfectly. Even there, the Horizon immediately attracted attention and sparked a discussion about its distinctive appearance. Many watches—including models from major luxury brands—share similar design elements. Ultimately, what matters is personal taste, individual style and budget. For me, the WatchSurgeon Horizon offers excellent value for money, looks fantastic on the wrist and is simply a pleasure to wear. I am very satisfied with my purchase and will definitely be ordering another model. Highly recommended!
