SKILL is an independent Swiss watch brand founded in 2016 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Olivier and Thomas Mory. The brand is built on a philosophy of full Swiss-made production, sourcing nearly all components and services locally within the historic watchmaking region of Switzerland. This commitment to local manufacturing exceeds standard Swiss-made requirements and is a primary reason enthusiasts are drawn to the brand. Additionally, the company emphasizes sustainability and longevity, offering a lifetime warranty and utilizing repurposed movements in some of its designs.
The brand is often recognized for its distinct industrial or steampunk aesthetic, which it combines with high-end horological complications. Its catalog is headlined by several notable models: – M51: A hand-wound tourbillon named after the Tourbillon galaxy, featuring a power reserve of over 100 hours and a high shock resistance of 5000G.
– M102: A versatile automatic timepiece that utilizes an abandoned TT651 movement, which the brand modifies for improved performance. It features a big date, a dual time zone, and a day/night indicator.
– TYR Mk. 2: An astronomical watch that combines a terrestrial worldtimer with a Martian daytime indicator and a unique clepsydra power-reserve display.
