Your watch, your story
A watch only truly becomes yours when something of you is inside it.
A family crest on the caseback, your grandfather’s signature in his own hand, a date known only to you. We do not simply engrave them onto the steel: we set them into it by hand, deep enough for the detail to become part of the watch and only disappear when the watch itself disappears. It is the difference between something bought and something made your own. Between an object and an heirloom.Rotor · shield · caseback
Even where no one looks.
A guilloché initials shield on the dial. A crest on the rotor that turns with every movement of your wrist. An inscription cut through the caseback, so the text is also visible on the inside when the watch is opened for service one day. These are the details that quietly set a Staudt apart: not to impress, but to record something that later can no longer be written.Previously made

Sometimes it starts with a blank sheet.
A handful of times each year we make a watch that belongs to no existing collection. A fully bespoke piece, drawn in conversation and built in the months that follow. No more than ten per year, and usually a project takes more than a year. It always begins by sitting still: what do you want to see when you look at your watch later? The rest follows, slowly, as it should.A good conversation
Visit the boutique.
Personalisation starts with a watch in the hand and a cup of coffee. In our boutique in Ootmarsum, we take the time to discover which piece suits you and which details make it yours.
