See moreA watch says more about a man than almost anything else he wears. It is one of the few accessories that carries genuine weight, both literally and in what it communicates about the person wearing it. Wecord's men's watch collection is built around that idea. Two distinct lines, the Duke Collection and the Oliver Collection, each with a clear design identity, both powered by the Swiss Ronda 1062 quartz movement and finished with anti reflective sapphire crystal and 316L stainless steel construction. These are watches designed in London and built to a standard that competes with brands charging considerably more. The Duke starts from £290 for the small model and £370 for the large.
What makes a Wecord watch different is the combination of serious horological specification with a design language that feels genuinely original rather than borrowed from established Swiss houses. The Duke's signature rectangular case and ultra thin 6mm profile give it a silhouette that is instantly recognisable on the wrist. The Oliver's round dial and integrated metal bracelet take a sportier, more contemporary direction. Both watches are available in multiple dial colours and both pair naturally with Wecord's cord bracelets on the same wrist, creating the layered wrist look that has become one of the brand's defining style signatures. For those who want something truly rare, the Limited Edition Duke models offer exclusive colourways in restricted numbers.
Every Wecord watch ships free across the UK with delivery in 1 to 3 days, arrives in premium branded packaging and carries a 2 year international warranty. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 15 days. Visit the Wecord boutique at 60 Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge, London SW3, to try on the collection in person, or browse the full range below.

Men's Watches
The Duke Watch Collection
The Duke Collection is defined by its rectangular case, a shape that immediately sets it apart from the round dials that dominate most of the watch market. The design is clean, architectural and deliberately restrained, letting the quality of the materials and the proportions of the case speak for themselves. The Duke large model measures 41mm by 32mm with an ultra thin profile of just 6mm, sitting flat and elegant on the wrist at 105 grams. It is a watch that wears beautifully under a shirt cuff because of that slim profile but carries enough presence to hold its own when the sleeves are rolled up. The Duke small model at 35mm by 24mm and 74 grams offers the same design in a more compact format that suits slimmer wrists or those who prefer a watch that does not dominate.
The Duke large starts at £370 and the Duke small at £290, both available in dial colours including Black, Navy Blue, Green, Burgundy and Salmon. The Duke Watch with Diamonds at £370 for the small model adds lab grown diamond hour markers to the dial, bringing a subtle but unmistakable elevation to the design. The Duke Watch Gemstones at £390 for the large model is the most visually striking piece in the entire collection, featuring natural stone dials in Tiger's Eye, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli and Onyx. Each stone has its own depth, pattern and character, which means no two Gemstone dials are exactly identical. It is the closest thing to a one of a kind watch at an accessible price point.
The Oliver Watch Collection
The Oliver Collection takes a completely different approach. Named after Wecord's very first client, Oliver is a tribute to the trust and belief that helped launch the brand. The watch carries that story in its design, a 40mm round stainless steel case with an integrated metal bracelet that gives it a sporty, contemporary presence on the wrist. Where the Duke is about quiet architectural elegance, the Oliver is about confident modern energy. The integrated bracelet means the watch and strap flow as one continuous piece, creating a look that feels complete and considered from every angle. The Oliver is powered by the same Swiss Ronda 1062 movement and finished with the same anti reflective sapphire crystal and 3 ATM water resistance as the Duke, so the technical specification is equally serious beneath the surface.
The Oliver is available in the large model with dial colours including Black, Navy Blue, Green and Burgundy, and in the small model for those who prefer a more compact fit. The Oliver with Diamonds adds lab grown diamond markers to the dial for an elevated look that bridges the gap between sport watch and luxury jewellery piece. The Oliver's integrated bracelet design makes it a natural companion for formal and smart casual settings, and it pairs particularly well with a Soho or Regent cord bracelet on the opposite wrist or stacked alongside the watch.
Swiss Movement and Sapphire Crystal
Both the Duke and Oliver collections are powered by the Swiss Ronda 1062 quartz movement, one of the most respected and reliable movements in its class. Ronda is a Swiss manufacturer with decades of experience supplying movements to watch brands at every level of the market, and the 1062 delivers the accuracy and longevity that a quality watch demands. The anti reflective sapphire crystal that covers both collections is the same material used by the most prestigious Swiss watchmakers. It is significantly harder and more scratch resistant than the mineral glass found on most watches at this price point, and the anti reflective coating ensures the dial remains crisp and legible in all lighting conditions. These are not specifications added for marketing purposes. They are the foundational elements that determine whether a watch still looks and performs beautifully after years of daily wear.
Gemstone Dial Watches
The Duke Watch Gemstones at £390 represents something genuinely unusual in the men's watch market. Each dial is crafted from a single piece of natural gemstone, available in Tiger's Eye with its warm golden brown striations, Malachite with its deep green banding, Lapis Lazuli with its rich blue depth, and Onyx with its bold black presence. Because these are natural stones, every dial carries its own unique pattern and character. The Tiger's Eye shifts and catches light as the wrist moves, creating a visual effect that no painted or printed dial can replicate. The Malachite has a depth of green that changes depending on the angle and the light. These are watches that invite a closer look and reward it every time. At £390 for a Swiss movement watch with a natural gemstone dial, sapphire crystal and stainless steel construction, the Duke Gemstones sits in a category of its own in terms of what you are getting for what you are paying.
Limited Edition Duke Watches
The Limited Edition Duke models offer exclusive colourways and finishes produced in restricted numbers. Once a limited edition run sells through, it does not return. These watches carry the same Swiss Ronda movement, sapphire crystal and stainless steel construction as the standard Duke collection but in colour combinations that are not available anywhere else in the range. For collectors and for anyone who values owning something that not everyone else has, the Limited Edition Duke is worth checking regularly as new editions are released throughout the year.
Wearing a Watch with Cord Bracelets
One of the defining looks of the Wecord brand is a watch paired with one or more cord bracelets on the same wrist. The Duke's slim 6mm profile and the Oliver's integrated bracelet both leave comfortable room for a cord bracelet to sit alongside them without crowding or interfering. A Duke in Black with a Regent cord bracelet in Navy Blue creates a layered look that feels confident and considered. An Oliver with a Soho bracelet in a matching dial colour ties the whole wrist together. Some customers wear their cord bracelet on the same wrist as the watch, others prefer it on the opposite side for balance. Both approaches work, and the beauty of the Wecord system is that every element is designed to complement the others rather than compete with them.
Men's Watches as Gifts
A watch is one of the most significant gifts you can give a man. It carries permanence, it gets worn every day, and it becomes part of how the recipient presents himself to the world. The Duke at £290 for the small model and £370 for the large offers an accessible entry into genuine luxury watchmaking. The Duke Gemstones at £390 with its natural stone dial makes a birthday or anniversary gift that will be remembered for years. The Oliver's sportier aesthetic suits men with active lifestyles who want a watch that performs in every setting. For the man who already owns watches, the Kensington leather watch roll is a natural companion gift, crafted from granulated calf leather with a soft suede interior. Browse gifts for him for a curated selection of watches alongside cord bracelets, rings and fragrances that make a complete men's gift.
Kensington Watch Rolls
The Kensington Collection completes the watch ownership experience. These watch rolls are crafted from granulated calf leather that maintains its beautiful grain texture, lined with soft suede and hand stitched along the edges. The single watch roll protects one timepiece in transit, and the three watch roll stores an entire rotation. They are available in multiple leather colours and make one of the most thoughtful additions to a watch gift. A Duke or Oliver watch presented alongside a Kensington roll in the same Wecord packaging creates a gift that covers both the watch itself and how it is looked after.
