Craig
Struthers

Craig discovered watchmaking in 2004 after a decades-long passion for vintage mechanics. Having worked on classic cars, motorbikes, and scooters since childhood; watchmaking provided a way in which he could turn his life-long interests into a career.

He initially studied the British Horological Institute course at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design’s School of Jewellery, where Craig soon picked up a reputation for having an incredible degree of patience for complex repairs of vintage and antiquarian pieces. With no spare parts supply for historic watches Craig set about building the skills to make virtually every component in a mechanical watch by hand. First applying this to restoration, he now uses this experience to design and create watches from scratch. 

To hone his skills, Craig has spent time learning from some of the finest vintage and antique restorers in the UK and apprenticed a retired chronometer maker from Mercer. In 2017, the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust and Royal Warrant Holder, Johnnie Walker, awarded Craig a scholarship to train with one of the last traditional watch case makers left in Britain. This rare art is only practiced in a small handful of workshops which now includes the Struthers.

A keen artist and published illustrator, Craig is responsible for much of the original hand-rendered concept artwork that starts off every Struthers watch build.
