THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS
BŌKEN translates from Japanese to "adventure". Our whole company is focused on adventure and how a watch can transition from office use to adventure use.
We want to empower adventurers, thrill-seekers, and lovers of luxury with timepieces that embody the perfect fusion of performance, style, and elegance.
Our branding is designed in Great Britain including logo designs, photography, packaging, social media etc.
BŌKEN has a fantastic partnership with our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in a small Swiss village. Our manufacturer was one of the first horology / watch-making schools in Switzerland and have been running since the 1980's. While we work with our OEM who support our vision, our company goals are distinctly different as represented by our approach to bringing watches to market and our brand ethos. We work closely with our manufacturer to customise branding, adapt movements and change aesthetic elements including colourways.
Absolutely! Our first two watches have been original equipment manufactured that we have customised.
On April 29, 2024, BŌKEN announced that our third model will be built in Berkshire, UK.
Our aspiration is to foster our growth as an independent brand and play a pivotal role in propelling adventure watches into the forefront as our brand flourishes.
