OUR WATCHES
CRAFTSMANSHIP
So much of Arcanaut's unique character is based on the work we do with our own hands, in Copenhagen or the Badger Den in Gothenburg.
MEET THE ARCANAUTS
Arcanaut is an independent watch brand, based in historic Copenhagen, the heart and capital of Denmark. We combine timeless Nordic aesthetics with innovative and daring materials, yielding a truly distinctive style tailored expressly for the bold collector seeking an adventure off the beaten path.
Arcanaut watches honor and diversify the craft of horology. While our movements originate in Switzerland, we source many of our components here in Scandinavia, working with celebrated artisans and field-leading experts.
The final assembly takes place in Copenhagen, allowing us to ensure that every Arcanaut watch that leaves our workshop is running perfectly, and ready to fulfill its role as an emblem of exploration and testament to impeccable craftsmanship.
UNDERSTATED AND UNIQUE
Every element of an Arcanaut's design is considered as part of a harmonious whole. Striking a balance between the sensational and the serene is our goal.
BLACK BADGER MAGIC
We're always on the lookout for new materials or manufacturing techniques to take our designs to the next level. Our search for ever wilder materials is led by "Chief of Materials" James Thompson, co-owner of Arcanaut, known throughout the industry by his pseudonym "Black Badger" (@blackbadger).
ALL HANDS ON DECK
When it comes to doing the dirty work, we're right there on the front line. Everyone in the team gets involved in the physical creation of the watches and their assembly. While JT makes most of the dials and their associated components in the Badger Den, we have watchmakers, expert CNC millers, and laser technicians within the team, ready to figure out just how to bring our latest idea to life...
MORE THAN JUST A SALE
You've heard it before in the watch industry, we're sure, but we really mean it. Owning an Arcanaut is to be part of the family. Not only are you supporting our past ideas, you're buying into the future. And we want you to be an active part of that. So come along for the ride.
