The Steps To Perfection
01 - Additive Manufacturing:
Using Laser Powder Bed Fusion, we create near-net shapes of watch cases from Grade 23 titanium powder.
Composed of thousands of 0.06mm layers, we're able to form complex, unprecedented case geometries.
After depowdering and heat treatment, our cutting-edge cases are ready for machining.
02 - Subtractive Manufacturing:
With an excess 0.5mm of material, our ‘Near Net’ cases are carved using state of the art 5-axis CNC machines.
The intricate process leads to sharp transitions between edges, curves, and surfaces.
Our design uniquely exhibits the case's internal latticing using 'lattice windows'.
03 - Dial Manufacturing:
Our dials are crafted from a 3mm brass billet in the English countryside by a family owned business trading since 1820.
High precision CNC machines with 0.1mm cutters carve the dial and our unique guilloche patterns.
Hand painting and pad printing completes our dials, each carrying the 'Made in the UK' signature which exemplifies our commitment to British manufacturing.
04 - Leatherwork:
We've partnered with a tannery and leather worker committed to sustainable luxury.
Our straps and travel cases are crafted using Devonshire Oak tanned leather, ethically sourced from the Devonshire meat industry.
05 - Finishing:
Our Additively Manufactured cases are hand-finished by specialist polishers.
Each case exhibits a variety of finishes: brushed, mirror, machined, and additively manufactured, making for an intriguing contrast.
06 - Assembly:
All the components are brought together here in the UK.
Each watch undergoes rigorous quality checks and pressure tests to ensure daily-use resilience.
Every Invenire watch boasts a 100m resistance rating and an accuracy of +/- 7s a day.

Given the custom nature of our timepieces, the manufacturing process takes between 4-6 months. You will receive regular updates as your order progresses, and accurate delivery date information once the order is ready to be shipped.
You’ll find the words “10 bar” engraved on the underside of all of our watches. To qualify for said certification they have been rigorously tested in line with ISO 22810. This testing regime ensures the robustness of the watch not only during a maximum pressure event of 10 bar but also for prolonged submersion underwater whilst also withstanding thermal shock when moving across temperature gradients.
At Apiar, each of our Invenire timepieces is meticulously crafted and personalised to your specifications. They are made-to-order, ensuring that each watch is as unique as the individual who wears it. Owing to this bespoke nature of our production process, we regret that we are unable to offer refunds on purchases.
