When a group of local chaps in their mid-twenties approached us a few weeks ago, asking if we could help them with a challenge they were undertaking as Official Timekeepers, we were all ears...

The Haskell Field Standard is a celebration of that same spirit of adventure, but set right here on our doorstep; in Great Britain. It's a nod to drizzly mountain treks, muddy wellington boots and escapades carried out not so far from home.

We know you're here for the watches; and we assure you, we are too. But the small stuff that demands attention around the watches matters to us, and in every spare moment where we aren't designing watches or managing this ever-growing business, we are focusing on the little things.

There is one question we get asked, more than most would assume, and that is "why isn't my watch working?" Almost every time, the answer is simple...

Everyone who invests anything from £10 will receive a proportionate share in Marloe Watch Company. The more you invest, the more shares and benefits you receive.
