Material Story
Originality in Timekeeping. Heritage in Leather.
Curated & Restored Watches
At NINE, we don’t just sell watches; we preserve them. Whether it’s a Swiss classic, a Japanese icon, or a unique vintage find, our philosophy is rooted in Originality. We source and restore timepieces with the goal of keeping them as close to their factory-intended state as possible.
When you purchase a watch from NINE, you are getting a piece of horological history that has been expertly serviced and respected in our Independence workshop.
Turkish Heritage Leather
Our leather goods and straps are a separate labor of love. We source our hides from a premier heritage tannery in Turkey that utilizes centuries-old, eco-friendly tanning traditions. This ensures our leather is durable, supple, and rich in character.
Connected by Craft
While our watches and leather goods are distinct parts of our business, they are connected by the same artisan standard. We use Full-Grain Small-Batch Leather because it is the only material worthy of a high-quality timepiece. Over time, your leather will develop a unique patina—a natural darkening and softening—that mirrors the character of the watch it carries.
