Outside a wedding, watching the kids burn off steam between the big moments.

This time of year is full of them. Weddings, graduations, engagements, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, and all the little milestones that sneak up on you while life is moving fast.

That’s why we offer complimentary engraving on Locke & King watches. A date, a name, a short message, a reminder of what mattered. Just send us a note and we'll get it done.

Because sometimes the best way to mark time, milestones, & moments is to write it down.

Make Your Own Time.

A special evening for Locke & King and the .

Last week, we were proud to support DeGroote’s annual Evening of Accolades at the in Toronto, providing two Locke & King watches as special gifts for this year’s award recipients.

As a brand built by a DeGroote alum, and rooted in entrepreneurship, storytelling, and Canadian ambition, it meant a lot to help recognize leaders whose impact extends well beyond business.

We were also proud to support an entrepreneurship table celebrating the founders, builders, alumni, students, investors, and community leaders helping shape the next chapter of DeGroote’s entrepreneurial story.

Because time matters. And so do the people who use theirs to build, lead, mentor, create, and give back.

Congratulations to this year’s honourees, and thank you to the DeGroote team for including Locke & King in such a meaningful evening.

A few years back, we featured as part of our love letter to Hamilton makers, builders, and businesses with real character.

It remains one of the city’s great spots, and still a reminder of what happens when good people make good things with care, vision and story.

Big congrats to the MERIT team on NINE years of beer, food, community, and hometown Hamilton flavour.

Cheers to what’s been built, and what’s next.

A watch at the bar, an office upstairs, and an espresso doing most of the heavy lifting.

The silver and white Ossington at Hamilton, conveniently located below the new Locke & King HQ , which is either excellent planning or dangerous proximity.

Either way, time well spent.

Roll up your sleeves for our classic silver & white Ossington.

Did you ever come visit us at our (now OLD) office?

Ryan here. A couple weeks removed from the move now, but wanted to share some founder thoughts.

For the last few years, Locke & King had a home inside 115 King Street East location. A small office for a small Canadian watch company, inside another business I helped build.

It was where I packed orders, met customers, took calls with manufacturers, staged photos, sorted straps, answered emails, and tried to keep pushing this thing forward one watch at a time.

But it was also more than that.

I started Locke & King after being let go during the pandemic. And even when you know the circumstances were bigger than you, that kind of thing still knocks your confidence.

Having a door with my name on it, a brand in the window, and a place to show up to every day helped me rebuild some of that.

It made the company feel real before it always felt easy.
We’re on to the next chapter now, with Locke & King settling into CoMotion’s new space (more to come). But I’ll always be grateful for what this office gave me.

A headquarters. A workshop. A little proof of concept.
And, at the right time, a place to make our own time.

A surfboard is not a desk.

Which is probably why this felt like the right place for the Ossington and 63s shades, out where the tide, the wind, and the next set get a vote.

That’s part of the Basque rhythm: surf in the foreground, long pintxos lunches somewhere in the old town, a glass of txakoli, and a general sense that the day should be properly lived, not just scheduled.

San Sebastián, making a very strong case against checking your calendar.

Roll up your sleeves.

We talk a lot about making time. It’s one of the principles Locke & King was built on: creating timepieces that remind you to make your own.

For me, it was also about building a company that could fit the life I wanted to create. But Locke & King isn’t the only company I lead or help lead.

On a recent trip abroad for one of those other businesses, I found myself in northern Spain with my family, with a short side trip to Luxembourg to tour a mill.

On the way back, my flight was cancelled, so I had to scramble together a new route: a train to Paris, an overnight stay, then an early flight back to Bilbao.

I arrived at Gare de l’Est fully intending to head straight to the hotel and get to sleep. But then I stepped outside and remembered: I’m in bloody Paris. How often does that happen?

So I made time.

I found a spot by the river, sat on a patio, ordered an espresso and a glass of wine, and watched the city move around me.

Since a formative home-stay in the south of France when I was younger, that sort of combination, traveling, a solo pause, a busy patio, and watching a city move, has always felt restorative to me.

Then I got dinner, made it to the hotel, caught my flight, and got back to my family, the thing I truly looked forward to making time for.

But I’m glad I didn’t rush past the moment while I had it.

Make Your Own Time.

Somewhere in Basque country, time slows down.

A small glass of patxaran, wild sloe berries steeped in anise, shared slowly after a meal. Less about the drink, more about the pause.

That’s the idea. Not just keeping time, but making it, for what’s real, what’s local, what lasts.

Roll up your sleeves for the Ossington, far from home, but also right where it belongs.
