OUR STORY
Arcturus Watches was founded in 2017 on the belief that well-designed, top-quality watches should be accessible to everybody this side of the galaxy.
Hailing from sunny Singapore, our designs draw on the island-state’s multicultural melting pot for inspiration. Our ethos is to create stunning timepieces with a signature dash of Singaporean charm.
Named after the brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. Arcturus encapsulates our hopes to become a supernova in the microbrand watch universe, and establish Singapore on the world’s horological map.
Our inaugural timepiece, Lion City 1, was fully funded on kickstarter in one hour, and is now on the wrists of buyers in 15 countries worldwide.
THE ARCTURUS PROMISE
"NO ARCTURUS TIMEPIECE WILL GO UNCARED FOR."
Since its founding in 2017, the Arcturus team has expanded to 4 members strong, all sharing the same vision, determination and passion to put Singapore on the horological map.
Our first sold-out launch, the Lion City 1, till today, graces the wrists of our collectors around the world and it is the shared vision of the Arcturus team that birthed the Arcturus Promise, that “No Arcturus timepiece will ever go uncared for”.
All our timepieces go through vigorous testing and regulation before being sent out to our customers. In the event of defects, the Arcturus International Guarantee ensures that our customers watches are taken care of and restored to working condition. Even after the guarantee period has ended, Arcturus will continue to provide support on all repair requests in line with the Arcturus International Guarantee.
All LC-2 Vanda Tourbillons will ship with 2 years Arcturus International Guarantee. Subsequently, Arcturus will cover 50% of all maintenance and repair costs for the next 10 years. We do not take you for granted. We do not take our timepieces for granted. This is the Arcturus Promise.
