Our
Philosophy

Fleming is an independent brand founded to explore, without inherited constraints, the intersection of traditional haute horlogerie and cutting-edge micromechanics. Designed by Thomas Fleming in California and crafted by master artisans and engineers in Switzerland, each watch reflects a shared pursuit of coherence in design and uncompromising excellence in execution.

An Independent Vision Rooted In Traditional Craftsmanship

We design each element of our watches to deliver maximum enjoyment while highlighting the skills and techniques that have made watchmaking so compelling for centuries. Employed in new and unexpected ways by the best craftspeople we can find, they make for watches unlike anything else out there.

The Best Watches Are The Ones You Actually Wear

Created to be worn daily – not to stay “mint in box” – Fleming watches delivers on comfort, legibility, and delight. They are watches that reveal their nuances as you wear them and experience them, each encounter offering something new to enjoy.

Fleming was established in 2020 with the goal of creating watches from the collector's perspective. Rather than being bogged down by the usual red tape or familiar ways of doing things, Fleming takes inspiration from the best of watchmaking tradition and infuses it with new ideas and concepts, leading to entirely new kinds of watches.

Fleming designs watches in-house, and then searches the world for the best partners we can find to bring the vision to life. From movement specialists such as Jean-François Mojon to dial makers like Fabrika, we are fortunate to have an incredible team that ensures every watch bearing the Fleming name is as compromise-free as possible. We always operate with the utmost transparency, out of respect to both the incredible people crafting each watch, with whom we are incredibly proud to partner, and the collectors wearing them.

Rather than being limited by a particular aesthetic or an individual design, Fleming is defined by its concepts-first approach. Each Fleming watch is visually captivating from every angle, incredibly versatile, and is made to the highest standards utilizing a combination of traditional and modern techniques.
