Design Freedom
We make the manufacturing of complex geometries previously unattainable using traditional methods possible.
The Steps To Perfection
01 - Additive Manufacturing:
Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion, we create near-net shapes of watch cases from Grade 23 titanium powder.
With thousands of 0.06mm layers, we form complex, unprecedented case geometries.
Post-depowdering and heat treatment, our cutting-edge cases are primed for the uncovering process via machining.
02 - Subtractive Manufacturing:
With an excess 0.5mm of material, our ‘Near Net’ cases are carved using state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC machines.
The intricate process leads to sharp transitions between edges, curves, and surfaces.
Our design uniquely exposes ‘lattice windows,’ a blend of rough printed texture and flawlessly machined surfaces.
03 - Dial Manufacturing:
Our dial, the emblem of our brand ethos, is crafted in the English countryside using a 3mm thick brass disc.
High precision CNC machines with 0.1mm cutters carve the dial and our unique guilloche patterns.
Post-coating, pad printing imprints our designs, each carrying the 'Made in the UK' signature, exemplifying our commitment to UK's engineering prowess.
04 - Leatherwork:
We've partnered with tanneries and leather workers committed to sustainable luxury.
Our straps and travel cases are crafted using Devonshire Oak tanned leather, ethically sourced from the Devonshire meat industry.
05 - Finishing:
Our additive manufactured cases are hand-polished by Swiss-accredited watchmakers in London's jewellery district, Hatton Garden.
Each case showcases a variety of finishes - brushed, mirror, machined, and additively manufactured, for an intriguing contrast.
06 - Assembly:
All components, including cases, dials, and Swiss movements, are assembled by world-class watchmakers in Hatton Garden.
Each watch undergoes rigorous quality checks and pressure tests to ensure daily-use resilience.
Every Invenire watch boasts a 100m resistance rating and an accuracy of +/- 7s a day.

Given the custom nature of our timepieces, the manufacturing process takes between 4-6 months. You will receive regular updates as your order progresses, and accurate delivery date information once the order is ready to be shipped.
You’ll find the words “10 bar” engraved on the underside of all of our watches. To qualify for said certification they have been rigorously tested in line with ISO 22810. This testing regime ensures that robustness of the watch not only during a maximum pressure event of 10 bar but also for prolonged submersion underwater whilst also withstanding the thermal shock as a result of moving across temperature gradients.
At Apiar, each of our Invenire timepieces is meticulously crafted and personalised to your specifications. They are made-to-order, ensuring that each watch is as unique as the individual who wears it. Owing to this bespoke nature of our production process, we regret that we are unable to offer refunds on purchases.
At Apiar, we stand by the enduring quality of our Invenire timepieces, offering a comprehensive 2-year warranty with every purchase. We believe in the longevity of our watches, and we want you to enjoy them with peace of mind. Beyond the warranty period, our commitment to your satisfaction continues with our dedicated servicing program. We are here to ensure that your Invenire keeps ticking as beautifully as the day you first adorned your wrist with it, now and for the many years to come.
