Radcliffe is an independent British watch brand founded in 2020 by Tayeb Boussalia and based in Oxford, England. Boussalia is a French-Algerian self-taught watchmaker with a professional background in architecture and civil engineering, which heavily influences the brand’s design language. The company focuses on creating unique, conversation-starting timepieces that combine avant-garde aesthetics with mechanical innovation at accessible price points. Enthusiasts are often drawn to the brand for its unconventional approach to horology, its use of high-quality components like Swiss Super-LumiNova, and the intricate details found in its modular cases and engravings.
The brand’s catalog is defined by several key collections and models: – Le Dome: This model is recognized for its highly domed sapphire crystal and avant-garde design inspired by MB&F aesthetics, powered by a reliable Seiko NH35 movement.
– L’Inversee: Described as a piece of mechanical art, this model features an innovative upside-down wandering hour complication, positioned as the first of its kind.
– Tsunami: A robust tool watch designed as a diver with 300-meter water resistance, featuring a high-beat Miyota 9015 movement.
