Before Monarte existed, our founder bought a watch that promised far more than it was. Two months later it stopped, and a local watchmaker showed him why. The search that followed became Monarte in 2019.

The Experience
You feel it before
you can explain it.
A Monarte is felt in every subtle movement. Its balanced weight, the guilloché shifting under light, the precise click of the clasp. Every part made to be felt, not just seen.
How it began
It began with a watch that stopped.
The Atelier
No detail is
ever small.
We take personal responsibility for perfection. Nothing leaves our atelier until it meets the standards of those who seek the exceptional.

Named one of the best dive watches of 2025Oracle Time“I picked up the watch today and I can’t stop looking at it, it’s just perfect. A friend of mine who deals with watches even compared it to an Audemars Piguet.”
“I absolutely love my Squid. It’s as close to perfect as I’ve found yet. Size, design, components, assembly expertise: the total package has a synergy that exceeds the sum of the parts.”
“The Squid truly is a ‘watch for all seasons’; it is both bomb-proof and beautiful. It both looks and functions beautifully in the snow at 10,000 ft, in everyday wear at the office, and virtually everywhere else I have had it.”
