We are an independent British watch brand based in London. Founded by watch designers Anneke and Jerome, The Camden Watch Company takes it's cues from the industrial heritage of Britain and Camden Town. If you'd like to find out more about us and what we do, then you can head over here.
We have stores in Camden, Shoreditch and Greenwich, and our main office, where we design all our products is in an old Spectacle Factory in the heart of Camden Town, tucked away on Delancey Passage. If you are looking for the locations or opening times of our stores, head over here.

We are constantly on the lookout for great people to join the team. If you think you could be a good fit, then send us an email here.
We don't have a phone line either at Camden HQ or in any of our stores. The reason being that we simply don't have the manpower to properly oversee a telephone line, so if we were to set one up it would likely be hard to get through and we believe that if you can't do it right, then don't do it at all. If you have an urgent enquiry, please send us an email here as we do check this address as often as we can.
If you are not happy with you watch then you can return it to us for an exchange or refund within 14 days of order receipt. With a valid reclaim, the full amount will be reimbursed excluding the shipping return.
Items must be returned with the original packaging and any protective coverings and product information and in new and unworn condition. Please also include your name and order number so we can identify your order.

We are still a small company, and as such we only produce our watches is small batches. The core range is generally always in stock, however, we do have editions that sell quickly and sometimes sell out before the next batch arrives. If there is a particular model that you have your eye on, then don't hesitate to get in touch and ask about stock levels, or sign up to be notified when they are back in stock.
At this time, we don't offer any engraving services. Our core range of watches have a fully designed caseback, but from time to time we have blank casebacks in stock that we can supply with your order. To ask about this please get in touch with customer service.
Our special editions, for example, the Thy Barber Edition and the KPP, have space on the caseback for engraving.

Here at The Camden Watch Company, we don't do discounts or sales. The reason that we don't discount our watches is simple, we work hard to sell them at the best price possible all year round. Recently, we have seen voucher websites advertise discount codes and deals for our products but we can assure you that these are fake and that they are neither endorsed by us nor do they work.
As watch designers by trade, all of our watches are designed and developed by us here in Camden Town and are manufactured in the Far East. You can read all about it and the history of British watch-making here.
We work the old fashioned way, using a different factory for each element of the watch; the case, the crown, the dial, the hands, etc. This ensures that we are getting the best possible quality for the price.
Then the final touches are added here in Camden. Our packaging is hand-stamped, our displays are handmade in our HQ and all our guarantees are printed, stamped and folded right here in London.
