Independent Horology, Hand-Assembled in Cyprus

Ninos Watches is an independent Cyprus-based watch project creating individually assembled automatic and quartz timepieces. Built for those who value clean aesthetics, mechanical detail, and stealth design, every build represents a bridge between classic watchmaking and modern material custom engineering.

Why We Started

The project began with a simple frustration: most entry-level fashion watches are mass-produced with cheap materials and sold at inflated prices simply for a brand logo, while true mechanical craft often carries prohibitive price tags.

We set out to do things differently. By taking control of the entire assembly process—sourcing premium individual components, engineering custom dials, and hand-building every timepiece—we give watch enthusiasts direct access to high-spec builds without the corporate retail markup.

Sourcing & Component Selection

A watch is only as reliable as the sum of its parts. Every component in a Ninos timepiece is individually chosen for long-term durability, precision, and tactile quality:

• Proven Japanese Movements: We power our automatic builds using reliable Seiko calibers—including the NH35 (date window), NH38 (open-heart), and NH72 (skeletonized)—delivering dependable automatic sweeping motion. For chronographs, we utilize Seiko VK63 mecha-quartz movements, combining quartz accuracy with a satisfying mechanical button click and sweeping chronograph hand.
• Sapphire Crystal, capped with scratch-resistant sapphire glass designed to withstand daily wear.
• Custom Engineered Dials: To make each build distinct, we design and produce custom dials.

Built & Tested by Hand

We do not drop-ship or pull finished products off a mass factory line. Every Ninos watch is assembled piece-by-piece on our workbench in Cyprus.

From mounting the dial and setting the hands with sub-millimeter precision to dust-free casing, movement regulation, and power-reserve checks—each timepiece undergoes rigorous inspection before it ever leaves the bench and makes its way to your wrist.
