The mist rolling in from the thames...
Parkhurst was born one afternoon in the covered stand at The Valley. I found an old pocket watch dial with our family’s name adorned and it just felt right! Being in Charlton, I then googled Greenwich-based watch companies… nothing came up.
How is it possible that Greenwich doesn’t have a British matchmaker that calls it home?
Well… now it does!

Greenwich is more than just a timezone!

OUR CORE VALUES
Family
The Parkhurst family has deep ties with the city of London. Just one example of this being our ancestor (Sir Robert Henry Parkhurst) who served as the Sheriff and later Lord Mayor of London in the mid-1600s. Around the same time that GMT itself was established.
British Watchmaking
Always and forever. There’s a saying in football ‘you support the team where you’re from’ we fell head over heels when we discovered the passion for British watchmaking and it was the only option!
A Love Letter to London
Greenwich is quite literally the home of time. We couldn’t believe there wasn’t already a watchmaker based here! London has history like no other city and is as unique as the people who call it home.
Charity
We are incredibly proud to say that 10% off all profits from our watches is donated to The Charlton Athletic Community Trust.
They do some amazing work helping those with physical and learning difficulties stay active, provide shelter and supplies for the homeless and help preventing youth violence.
Community
We wouldn’t be here without amazing groups such as RedBar and The Watch Collectors club. As we build and grow we’re excited to throw our own members and owners exclusive events!
Please consider joining our mailing list to stay in touch!
Inclusion
Our watches are for everyone, end of story.
Maybe it’s because it’s not the 1950’s anymore, but the idea of a Men’s or Women’s watch is ridiculous to us! If you like it, wear it!
We’re not perfect and always welcome feedback on how we could be better!
