For half a century, Andrew Michaels has immersed himself in the world of fine watchmaking — sourcing, studying, and selling some of the most respected timepieces on the planet. But his passion has never been confined to the showroom.

A lifelong adventurer, Andrew has summited Kilimanjaro, scaled sheer ice walls in Iceland with axes in hand, conquered the UK’s Three Peaks, and tackled demanding routes across the Alps. These are not casual pursuits; they are tests of endurance, preparation, and unbreakable reliability in the harshest environments imaginable.

Drawing on five decades of watch expertise and the hard-earned lessons from mountains and extremes, Andrew set out to create something truly personal: a watch brand that combines genuine Swiss craftsmanship with real-world toughness. Every Buxton model reflects that philosophy — built to perform flawlessly whether you’re in the boardroom or pushing your limits on the next summit.

This is more than a watch. It’s the culmination of a remarkable life in horology and adventure.
