Revolutionise the world of horology one layer at a time.
We strive to create luxury timepieces configured for you, highlighting the unique and innovative designs possible when additive manufacturing is paired with sustainable British engineering.
Our Mission Statement
Pushing the boundaries of design
We all felt strongly that sustainability should be woven into the fabric of Apiar. Sourcing low carbon materials, leveraging British suppliers, and manufacturing products in Britain were key from day one.
Made in the UK
~80% of the components that go into our watches are manufactured here in the UK
Sustainability
Onshore Manufacturing and suppliers improves our supply chain visibility, ensuring we run carbon neutrally
Additive
The additive manufacturing process unlocks truly unique geometries
A shared passion for engineering
Apiar is the culmination of two childhood friends’ shared love of engineering, horology, and technology. Inspired by the truly innovative nature of Additive Manufacturing, we want to bring it to the consumer market. Why can’t we share the same technologies which are used in aerospace and make watches with lasers?
While working in the Technology and Additive Manufacturing industry, Matt was involved in numerous projects that utilised additive manufacturing to produce optimised and sustainable components for the engineering sector. With a deep passion for watches, he thought, "Why isn't anyone applying this to horology?" Additive manufacturing offers boundless design possibilities and has the potential to transform the way we conceive and craft watches. Driven by this vision, Matt founded Apiar.
From a young age, Sam's fascination with mechanical engineering was fueled by his passion for the automotive industry and watchmaking. While working as a Nuclear Engineer, he garnered insights into cutting-edge engineering practices and the utilisation of additive manufacturing. When Matt introduced the concept, Sam was immediately captivated. He joined the team, committed to ensuring that Apiar produces high-quality products that engineers can take pride in.
A technology fanatic at heart, Will is deeply passionate about introducing innovative technologies to consumers. When his university friend Matt presented the concept of Apiar, Will was eager to come on board. He quickly developed a passion for watchmaking and additive manufacturing, driven by the potential of how Apiar can deliver this cutting-edge technology to a broader audience.

FAQs
For the answers to the most frequently asked questions, please see below: -
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 the robustness of the watch not only during a maximum pressure event of 10 bar but also for prolonged submersion underwater whilst also withstanding thermal shock when 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.
