PRESS DATES BELOW TO LEARN ABOUT OUR STORY.
William retired from the Fire Service in 1982 leaving a lasting impression on his colleagues and his grandson Jonny. His impact and legacy now lives on within our unique watches.
In 2017 our CEO Jonny Garrett founded William Wood Watches. His vision was to create beautifully crafted British design watches made from upcycled firefighting materials in dedication to his grandfather, firefighters and first responders internationally.
We have customers in over 50 countries worldwide, offering distinct collections that can compete with the best in the world. We are proud to have donated over £123,000 to International Firefighting Charities supporting our heroes in need.
We take an original British brass Merryweather helmet, worn by firefighters in the nineteen-twenties in Britain, and melt it inside of our watches. All craftsmanship is carried out London.

We are donated used fire hose from fire services around the world which have come to the end of their life. We clean and protect the hose from any hazardous chemicals and turn them into our luxury watch straps through a lengthy and skilled process. Each cut of hose has a unique finish and story to tell.
Firefighters around the world wear Fire Gear when entering fires to protect themselves from the uncertain elements that lay inside. We receive the unwanted Fire Gear once it has come to the end of its career and repurpose it into our luxury watch straps.
Our donations to charities in the UK, USA, Australia and Ukraine.
