WRK Timepieces is a Swiss independent watchmaker known for its fusion of advanced engineering and minimalist design, offering limited-production timepieces that emphasize innovation, comfort, and craftsmanship.
WRK Timepieces is an independent Swiss watch brand that merges advanced horological engineering with a minimalist design ethos. Founded with a vision to push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, WRK—short for “Watchmaking Research Kinematics”—draws inspiration from engineering, motorsport, and contemporary design icons.
The brand’s debut model, the ACF-01, introduced in 2024, showcased a manual-winding tourbillon movement housed in a lightweight titanium case comprising 187 parts. This timepiece set the tone for WRK’s commitment to precision, innovation, and ergonomic design. Building on this foundation, the ACF-02, released in 2025, features a micro-rotor automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve, encased in grade 5 titanium. Its tonneau-shaped case measures 38mm in diameter, 41mm in length, and 8.5mm in thickness, emphasizing both comfort and wearability. The open-worked dial and technical fabric or suede leather straps further reflect the brand’s dedication to functional aesthetics.
WRK’s design philosophy centers on the fusion of art and engineering, aiming to create timepieces that are both visually striking and technically superior. The brand emphasizes ergonomics in its designs, ensuring that each watch offers optimal comfort on the wrist. Collaborations with renowned partners like Le Cercle des Horlogers and Atelier du Bracelet Genève underscore WRK’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Looking ahead, WRK plans to expand its collection with the upcoming ACF-03, continuing its exploration of innovative materials and mechanical advancements. With a focus on limited production and meticulous attention to detail, WRK Timepieces appeals to collectors and enthusiasts seeking contemporary design coupled with horological excellence.
